+LOL, it's like it was made for me (and my DH) and I gave it to him for our anniversary - he cracked up!
I'd buy another one if it said 'pizza' instead of tacos, too. He buys me both - carnitas tacos and round table pizza.
Whoohoo!",0

+This product was so amazing I needed to write a review. I bought the largest one available. It could not be more perfect.

+9,Handmade_Products,"BureBure Slippers - updated
+Oct 2020 update. I was somewhat disappointed in buying a second pair. The left slipper has a large lump of felt under the ball of the toes. And the material over the toes is slightly bunched up. Unfortunately my left foot has a problem with this. I know they may stretch if i can wear them that long. So, disappointed in quality control.
************************
These slippers keep my feet warm, without becoming too hot.
I typically go barefoot around the house in summer, and wear heavy socks in the winter (in Seattle). These slippers keep my feet comfortably warm. In a couple days of wear they've stretched into an easy fit. And the sole is thick enough to provide insulation and protection from hardwood floors. I also like the two-color felt scheme - I think it's a unique touch.
Excellent, as far as I'm concerned!",0

+37,Handmade_Products,"Not a quality item. Disappointing
+This item cost nearly $18 with shipping and was not even close to being worth the cost. The small quilled bluebirds on the nest on the front of the sheet of paper are really cute and the idea of an empty nesters card is a really good one. But this isn't a card. It's a square sheet of cheap paper, not even card stock quality, so whatever note you want to write you're writing on the back side of the flimsy paper. It would be hard to even write on the back side because it's all bumpy. Highly disappointing and I would not order this again. The only way I can see using this is if I purchase my own card stock and make my own card with it and glue this to it. I'll purchase higher quality items from Etsy.",0

+43,Handmade_Products,"Lovely and classy
+Really cool reproduction. Seems true to the original medieval intent of simply being something interesting to look at. An unnecessary decoration that just fits that particular void -- thereby becoming necessary. Heavy and will not get pushed over. The art is not gory or overpowering D&D goth trash. It has an adorable expression that evokes a sense of the next moment going one of two ways, a purr or an attack.

+46,Handmade_Products,"Good value
+..
Service is slower than I'd like... but I think that's because they custom make each order.
They're not as thick as I'd like. Although most people prefer the thinner bases. And if they made them twice as thick they'd be more expensive...
And these are cheap enough that you don't have to agonize over the quantity needed. Just order waaaaay more than you'll need. You can never have too many extra bases....
I think wooden bases are better. Since wood is naturally porous they hold the figure and the glue better.

+This sign arrived very quickly, in about 5 days from when I ordered it. It is a gift for a friend and has the name of her home and country acre on it. I chose the script style and like the flowing white letters on the medium brown wood. It comes with a hanger on back and will look nice propped up on a table or mantle or hanging on a covered porch. I wouldn't hang it outside where rain and snow would hit it, though it might do fine. Very pretty.",0

+Quality vinyl should be soft and flexible, this vinyl is neither. The adhesive on this vinyl is old and dried out. It’s clearly obvious that this wall decal has been sitting on a shelf for a long time.
I have applied wall decals from a few different manufacturers, all are much better than this product..... an FAR less expensive.
I have applied 3M carbon fiber vinyl decals on cars, cell phones, computers, pretty much name it and I have done a vinyl “wrap” on it.
I tried to apply heat (hairdryer) to soften the vinyl and activate the adhesive, did not work as this product is so old.

After losing my mother just two weeks ago I was looking for something to wear that I could look at when the hurt became too much. This necklace is perfect. It lays just beside my heart with her birthstone and a beautiful angel wing charm that I was able to choose. The necklace is smaller than I expected from the picture but for me that is better. The necklave and chain are so delicate. I can easily wear the necklace daily by placing it inside my blouse or outside to share with others.

+Men’s Braided Leather Chain Bracelet – Haskare Braided Real Leather with Cuff Chain.
The leather is synthetic, it has a good magnetic clasp and although the steel is stated as 316L it doesn’t have a high-quality appearance to me. I feel the quality doesn’t represent the higher price.
Overall, it is a decent looking bracelet for jeans or khakis etc., otherwise it’s not something I would wear with dress clothing. I also prefer to wear the bracelet with the chain on top of the leather vs the other way around, please see pic for example.
My wrist measures 7 ¼” without any measuring tape slack, this braided bracelet is 8 5/16” long and it fits good, but I prefer 8 ½” for a little extra movement slack.",0

+103,Toys_and_Games,"Too Noisy & Too Loud
+I bought this Elmo on a whim. My 2 year old doesn't really watch TV, but when he does he watches either Netflix or PBS. Lately he's been watching Daniel Tiger, which precedes Sesame Street. So, inadvertently he gets a dose of Elmo. He's learned who Elmo is and thus when I grab the diaper with Elmo on it he got into the habit of squealing, ELMO! Thus, my reason for purchasing this toy. I thought that he would love this from "Santa." I could not be MORE wrong! My son hates this toy with a passion and I can see why.
My issue with Elmo is that he is too loud and jarring! There is no volume control, and you can't take him off to put scotch tape over his voice box. Which brings out another problem, you can't wash him because you can't his inner workings out. Another issue that I have with his loudness is that because Elmo has a high pitched voice, he sometimes hard to understand. My son's issue with Elmo is that he is too loud and jarring. (No, he's not Autistic) Plus, the fact that Elmo's mouth moves just creeps him out, which is my son's own peculiar quirk, but nonetheless adds to how much we dislike this Elmo.",0

+My 7 year old daughter is a huge fan of Zombies 2 so she was very excited to see they had released dolls based on the series.

This prom set includes a pretty formal dress and shoes plus a number of accessories such as necklace, earrings, corsage, cheer jacket and sneakers.

+108,Toys_and_Games,"Great value and quality
+This toy has a lot of great qualities and features especially for the price. The attention to detail, rugged construction makes you think you have a vintage pedal car. However, assembly is a chore, things like no ladder clips are oversights. Children may be tempted to climb the removable ladders that dont seem engineered for that purpose. Also pedal operation requires quite a bit of strength. By Joshua Garfinkle

+126,Toys_and_Games,"Best ""Lego""-like Building Set
+My son received these as a gift for Christmas from my best friend. He has the 80 piece set and I thought it would be great to expand and create bigger houses and sky scrapers. I don't know what I was waiting on because this is the first set you buy of Mega Bloks!
They are basically large "Legos", but not Legos because clearly Duplo is the toddler version of the Lego brand. However, these are much more affordable than Duplo and in my opinion much better. I grew up in a time when you had Legos YOU created the scene and your own imagination/creativity was your only limit. Whereas with Duplo and Legos now, you buy a set and you can only build the set that is pictured. Don't lose a piece or lose the instruction or the box. Not Mega Bloks! Mega Bloks steps in where Legos left off.
Pros:
1. No limits on creativity! You have 150 pieces to make whatever you want. There are example things you can make pictured right on the bag, but for the most part there are more than enough pieces to create and build to your heart's desire. There are a range of 1 to 4 space pieces. There are flat pieces and pieces that curve to make the perfect roof of a house or hood/trunk of a car.
2. Ease of putting together and taking apart. Because these are meant for toddlers/preschoolers they are the perfect size for their little hands. They fit together easily and come apart with ease, so there's no struggling either way. Sometimes they will slip out as the plastic is really smooth, but I'd rather deal with that than trying to find pliers to take them apart.
3. The bag is a great place to store them! The bag is sturdy enough to keep so that you have a place for all your blocks. The bag is roomy so you can add a more Mega Bloks into the bag if need be. For example there are few Mega Blok trucks that my son already had. There's enough room in the bag to add to those bag. As those sets are compatible with this one, once the magic in the truck as worn out (the trucks are geared more towards 1-2 year olds whereas my 3 year old has moved on to other types of trucks) you can get rid of the truck, but keep the Bloks, and thus, keep building your Mega Bloks collection for a few more years until he/she is ready for actual Legos or traditional Lego sized Mega Bloks.
4. Stepping on a Mega Blok in comparison to a regular sized Lego does not induce as much pain!
Cons:
1. Really big and take up space. Because they are so big, the bag is huge and takes up a lot space. They also be a bit noisy because of the hallowed out plastic and how big they are. The noisy reverberates when they crash together.
2. Does not comes with a car base. In the 80 piece set, there is a car base so that if you wanted to, you could build a car that actually rolls. There is nothing in this set that allows you roll a car you might create and so you would need the 80 piece set in order to that. It would be nice if he had two cars to build and roll back and forth together, but you can't have everything. [[ASIN:B007GE75HY Mega Bloks First Builders Big Building Bag, 80-Piece (Classic)]]
I give this set five stars because I know that in conjunction with my son's other sets he will have these for several years. He really enjoys playing with them and building skyscrapers and making them crash down and building them back up. The cons I listed are really minor issues that I can live with, especially since my son enjoys them so much. Happy building!",0
+127,Toys_and_Games,"Lego 75974, Overwatch: Bastion
+Lego did a great job designing Bastion for the Overwatch line. I originally worried he’d be sort of subpar, like the Star Wars Buildable Figures, but nope. He’s great. A nice display piece for the older nerds, and a fun toy for the younger fans.
The light up brick that mimics his sentry mode is really neat. It’s the first time I’ve seen one in a set, and I hope they’re in more sets in the future.
This set has 4 numbered bags and 1 sticker sheet. I’m honestly disappointed by the use of stickers rather than printed pieces. Most of the stickers are on front of Bastion. They stand out for me.
A hint for if you’re new to Lego, use windex to apply stickers exactly where you want them. Spray it on the piece so it’s wet, put the sticker on and adjust, then let dry. I learned this a while ago and it’s been a lifesaver.",0

+142,Toys_and_Games,"Melissa and Doug Teach Kids Geography
+Melissa and Doug USA Map Floor Puzzle is an enjoyable puzzle for young children that helps kids learn geography while also teaching them important facts about each state in the nation. This map is made from heavy, thick cardboard and it features individual pieces for most but not all of the U.S. states. Once assembled, it measures two feet by three feet and it offers youngsters a challenge as they try to place each state in its proper place.
Education is the name of the game with the Melissa and Doug USA Map Floor Puzzle. Not only do kids get to learn about geography, they also get to learn about each U.S. state in other important ways. To add to the educational experience, Melissa and Doug decided to include the capital of each state and a small illustration of something unique to each state. The small illustration is especially useful because it teaches kids where to place the pieces, thereby helping them learn where each state is located. For example, most youngsters will not know where the state of Washington is located, but a quick glance at the box lets kids know that Washington is the state known for apples. All they have to do at that point is find the piece with the depiction of apples, then place it in the upper left corner of the puzzle.
One fact about the Melissa and Doug USA Map Floor Puzzle that might bother some parents and kids is the tendency of the pieces to slide around. They do not interlock, and thus they tend to move around as the puzzle is assembled. I know that some people have criticized the puzzle for this reason, but I find it okay in this instance because it keeps the pieces/states true to form. If the puzzle pieces were interlocking, the individual pieces would not form the shape of a specific state, and it would interfere slightly with the learning experience.
Educational toys are great and the Melissa and Doug USA Map Floor Puzzle is certainly a toy that helps kids learn: About geography, about state capitals, and about state trivia. It is true that the pieces tend to slide around and this could lead to frustration, but this is still a fun toy nonetheless that will satisfy most children and parents alike.",0

+This is an adorable sewing kit! This is my daughter's third one, but I still would consider this a good beginner set for a first timer. Everything you need comes in the box; including extra threaders (the red plastic with the wire diamond coming out one end). Honestly, having a threader on hand can make or break a sewing experience! They're incredibly cheap (a dollar at the box store), but unless you've been around someone who sowed by hand, most people don't know this game changing product exists! And No other kid kit has ever included one before!!!! So incredibly thoughtful. In my opinion, the treader is truly the one piece that needs to be included in with any hand sewing project kit, if a manufacturer is going to market their product as something children can do independently!
My 7-year-old was able to do the vast majority of these without any help and followed the instructions with ease. This set kept her busy all weekend. She opened the box after school on a Friday and had all of them done by Sunday night. Plus her hand and I coordination has improved so much since she's taken up sewing.

Some combinations are pleasing to the eye, others are a visual dissonance. It's been a delight to watch her progression ... ""What do you think about this, Grandpa!"" ... she quietly discards ones that aren't ready for prime time Grandpa eyes.

+200,Books,"Chock full of facts and some possible fiction; this whet my appetite for more information
+I enjoyed reading this cover to cover. There is just enough information on so many topics to whet my appetite for finding out more information.
This book is organized by various content covering subjects from the natural world to entertainment to gadgets and gizmos, etc. , etc.
Some of the many things I learned by reading this book that I did not know are:
1. Almond is a seed not a nut.
2. Peanut is a legume not a nut.
3. Olive tree wood still burns even when wet.
4. Jellyfish are not fish.
5. Scandium is a rare earth metal used to make some lightweight bike frames. (PS Now I know why a bike I was able to lift with my pinkie had a $1,300 price tag on it.)
6. Foley Pits are where sounds for movies are created.
7. Tiger stripes go all the way into the skin unlike zebra stripes which are surface level only.
8. Sauerkraut originated in China, not Germany.
9. Epson Salts in a bath is a pleasant placebo and does not work
10. Etc.
There are a few “facts” that I'm skeptical about or that trouble me. For instance:
1. Baking soda and vinegar can be used to unclog a drain but no mention is made of the quantity of each required or the fizz or possible “explosion” that will result.
2. The book states the Great Wall of China is visible from orbit, yet that is considered a myth. At least from what I read on the Internet it's not visible with the naked eye.
In summary, I truly enjoyed reading this book from cover to cover. The text and facts are interesting and in many cases it spurs my appetite for looking up more information on the subjects within.",0
+201,Books,"A 15-minute CD is included with the Book
+""One of the most important secrets of New Forest meditation is the New Forest itself. Imagining yourself meditating in a beautiful natural setting has a profoundly nourishing effect on your entire bodymind and spirit."" ."" ~John Bright Fey
The New Forest Tai Chi DVD for Beginners was my introduction to master teacher John Bright-Fey's world of imaginative teaching styles. Now his books and CDs also present short routines to calm the bodymind.
Through this CD, you will enter a world where John Bright Fey's soothing voice leads you through enjoyable visualizations that will leave you with a comforting happy feeling of deep peace. If you have been feeling stressed, tired, depressed or even just can't think clearly, then meditation can give you an escape and encourage you to retune your body like a musical instrument. The benefits include a new clarity of thought and an enhanced immune system.
The first time you experience this morning cup of meditation, you may want to follow along in the book. You can either stand, lie on your back, sit in a chair or sit on the floor in a cross-legged position.
I found myself sitting for Internal Adjustments1-6, relaxing on my back for 7-9 and then sitting again for the deep breathing in section 10. You can also do this before you fall asleep at night.
There is also a routine at a glance page you can put on your refrigerator to remind you to meditate. The exercises help to generate energy that is comforting, grounding, nourishing, strengthening, outflowing, connecting, uplifting, balancing, protecting and intuitive.
I find meditation to be easier when I've exercised first and also enjoy having a cup of tea nearby to sip on because it warms the body in the morning. This allows me to relax into meditation and I truly enjoy imagining the different scenes or becoming a glowing flower. The flower in my mind glows with pink sparkles and spins, but you can imagine candle flames or a light bulb during section 9 in which you imagine energy shining through you.
It is quite amazing how the pictures you imagine make you feel more alive or more relaxed. You can truly control your energy, not unlike when you are doing Yoga.
Of all the meditation CDs I've tried in the past few years, this one is the most enjoyable and one I want to return to week after week. Once I complete the 15 minutes of relaxing visualizations, the colors in the room seem brighter, I have more energy and tension seems to have dissolved. This CD and book opens the door to a feeling of joy and contentment that can nurture your entire being. In my mind's eye, I had first imagined a forest, but the background when I started was somewhat pale and like a forest before the sunrise. When I was finished with my morning cup of meditation, it was like the sun was rising and brilliant colors filled my imagination.
Not only will you feel the healing results right after the meditation, you may experience new levels of happiness for days after a 15-minute session. Like a good cup of herbal tea, this book and CD will nourish and heal you and leave you refreshed.

+203,Books,"4.5 blue ribbons from Romance Junkies
+Liz doesn't believe in love or happily ever after. Her own experience has taught her that it's simply a fanciful notion. Besides she gets far more satisfaction from her wide assortment of adult toys then she's ever experienced with a man.
The problem with her `love is an illusion' attitude rears its ugly head at her sister's bachelorette party in the form of a cowboy stripper. Sure, she's the one who hired a cowboy stripper but she never imagined the man who arrives will be someone whom she never expected to see again - the one man who can shatter her man-hater demeanor.
Ty rescued Liz from an abusive home but then disappeared from her life leaving her to fend for herself on the streets. She never knew what happened to him and she's made a success of her life since then but seeing him again opens old hurts and desires she thought long buried.
Ty's made his share of mistakes - some of them pretty major ones but he's turned his life around and works as a stripper to pay his way through college. His biggest regret is over the circumstances that took him away from Liz without any explanation. He never dreamed he'd see her again but he's not about to let this opportunity slip by him.
Liz and Ty share a history which will forever tie them together but they'd both rather look to the future than the past. Liz tries pushing Ty away but he's not taking no for an answer and steals her away in the very car he used to `rescue' her from her parents home years ago. If there's one thing Ty's certain of, it's that the love he feels for Liz has never faded and he'll do whatever he has to in order to win his way back into her heart. For Liz this is more complicated. She's never achieved an orgasm with a man and she fears that it's some sort of failure on her part. She still loves Ty but has no intention of leaving herself open to heartache a second time. Unfortunately Ty isn't leaving her many options and falling into bed with him proves to be a blessing and a disappointment as once again sexual satisfaction remains elusive. Thankfully Ty's not above a little experimentation and sets out to ensure her pleasure as well as his own - and in the process hopefully break through the walls Liz has erected around her heart.
Alyssa Brooks tells a tale which many women will be able to relate to with HARD TO GET. Liz's love for Ty and her vulnerability to him really tears at readers' heartstrings - especially once you realize that the man hating attitude she's taken on is a cover to protect herself. I loved learning about Ty and Liz's background and just how vital they were to each other at the time when they were separated. I also developed a real respect for Ty because of how he's chosen to make amends for wrongs he's committed. Ms. Brooks infuses this storyline with humor, memorable characters, plenty of red-hot sex and quite a few moments that will have readers wondering what they'd do if they were faced with some of the same situations.

+Agreeing with a number of reviewers on the lack of character and story development. I felt that the book was like a television or movie version and now I want to read the ""real"" book to find out more about the characters and the background to the story. Wait! I can't do that! This book IS the ""real"" book. I was disappointed in its Da Vinci Code level of characterization. If you're a lover of really good books with meat and substance, you'll probably be unsatisfied with Angelology, although you may like the story premise and find the story absorbing. I resigned myself early on in reading that there wasn't going to be much substance to the book and let it go for an engaging read. If you LOVED Da Vinci Code and enjoy using a bunch of exclamation marks generally, you'll probably LOVE Angelology, too!!! The author should read and study ""The Name of the Rose"" and the first book of the ""Pillars of the Earth"" series to learn how character and story development are done well and how that enhances a really good story idea. Angelology would end up being a much longer book, but it would be a much better book. I am curious to see what the author is going to come up with for the sequel she's writing, mentioned in the interview in the back of the book. The story was left hanging with the characters Evangeline and Verlaine, but I don't have great hopes the writing is going be all that much different from Angelogy. Sad really.

+You know those things that other people rave about; organic wine, paleo bars and Ed Burns movies, yeah, they're nice, but seriously, you aren't jumping up and down with excitement about?
That's how I feel about The Age of Miracles. It's a story about a girl whose self absorbed parents are heading for a bitter, acrimonious and obvious breaking point. Oh, also, the days and nights are getting longer and it's making people act strange, mostly PG rated strange, yelling, gardening at night, etc.
Some extra details are thrown in for artistic accuracy, the girl has no boobs (pretty much all heroines are boobless, yet appealing), she has a tarty friend (who has too much boobage, boobs = slutty, in literature), she has a crush on an emotionally damaged boy, momma is shrill, grandpa is crazy/wise and dad is cold and oblivious.
Wait, but it's a bunch of pages long, what about all the rest of the story?
Weelllllll, I mostly forgot. I know, I know, how can I write a review for a book I've mostly forgotten?
Here's how, I'm just going to list some of the highlights and what I thought about them, because for me the story isn't so much as story but a series of events loosely linked by an unreliable narrator, unreliable because she's supposed to be a kid, but instead she sounds like a graduate student who has a fondness for poetry, kambucha and jazz. In other words, she seemed old to me.
1. The days slow down. This is your basic art-y coming of age story told as a backstory to when everything went to hell. There's a scifi spin that never pays off and the ending is so typically nihilistic and depressing, I had to laugh about it later. It reminded me a little bit of an old horror flick called, Sleepaway Camp, the description read something like this, 'Dear Mom and Dad, Camp is okay, but there's been a few murders. I'm scared. I think I hear someone coming, arrhhhghh!' . . .blood runs down the page of the letter indicating to the reader, that indeed someone was coming and they turned out to be a crazed, camper killer. I'm sure there's a name for this trope (inevitable death and depression, something like that), I just can't remember it. Anyways, I don't like it.
2. Romance. I love romance, but this one was just so blah, I wasn't really feeling it. Not even with the implication that the Apocolypse had heightened emotions.
3. Mom and Dad. There was so much time spent on them that it was a bit of a letdown that instead of letting them move on from each other, they got roped back into being a loving couple again, seemingly by a miracle (the miracle itself is never shown, I guess we as the readers have to assume that the ways of adults are too mysterious for the mind of preteen to even speculate on, much less describe to us).
4. Hanna, aka, mean religious girl. I think she was meant as a reminder to the reader that while some things change other things end up in Utah because they are just too darn crazy.
Well, that's about it. I know a lot of people love this book, but it just wasn't my style of storytelling or story. the book was a fast read and had no editing flaws and the pacing was pretty good for a story of this length.",0

+""If we want to be able to love, we must pray! Prayer will give us a clean heart, and a clean heart can see God. If we see God, immediately God's love works in us. And we need to love not with words, but with deeds!"" ~ Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa was such an incredible human being that it is difficult to read her words without being close to tears. There is such beauty in her thoughts and in her desire to take care of anyone who is in need.
This book is a collection of Mother Teresa's thoughts organized according to categories like love, prayer and sacrifice. As you read this book you will realize why she was such an inspiration to millions.
While she chose a life of poverty all her needs were taken care of and more. Her life of service also brought her such wisdom, which is shared in the pages of ""A Life For God."" Reading this book can only make you a better person spiritually.
Before I read this book I knew Mother Teresa worked with the poor in India but what I didn't realize was that she inspired people to take action and create homes for the poor all over the world. What an incredible joy this must have brought her throughout her life. There is something so magnificent about the way she viewed the world. By reading Mother Teresa's words your life will change!
What I especially enjoyed about this book was the interview questions and answers. They truly gave insights into why Mother Teresa wanted to help the poor. Throughout this book you will find hundreds of reasons to follow in her footsteps. Her thoughts about abortion are also sobering. What love to offer to take in any child that was unwanted.
If we could all have even an ounce of the confidence she had this world would be a better place. She trusted God completely to work miracles so she could look after the poor. There was never a day when she had to turn away anyone who was in need.
""If our poor die of hunger, it is not because God does not care for them. Rather, it is because neither you nor I are generous enough."" ~ Mother Teresa

+Of Marriageable Age is a cleverly crafted and intricately woven story dealing with the complexities of arranged marriages.
Sharon Maas has captured a certain innocence in her writing. This story grew inside her and was finally born in an ancient farmhouse where she typed in the depth of winter. Sharon pours the warmth of her very soul into the pages. This story will bathe you in balmy thoughts and entice you into its pages the way the ocean entices you to swim in its depths. She remembers what it feels like to be a child in the comforting safety of a mother's love or how it feels to embrace a moment in time, so thoughtfully, it always clings to your memory.
Her intense power of observation enables her to set up situations, which bring out the characters deepest fears, sublime longings and internal tortures. She creates tension at the end of each chapter, propelling you forward to read the next exciting detail. Each chapter in the first section focuses on one of the three main characters.
This rotation of chapters invites you to follow the lives of Nat, Saroj and Savitri who in the first section are like streams of water moving towards a river. The second and third sections are more like a waterfall in which moments of enlightenment flow through you suddenly, as you realize how these three characters' lives intertwine. Each life is richly textured with cultural details as they move from the innocence of childhood into an adult awareness. The character development is outstanding. As the story grows and changes, hope grows within you that the characters will find the happiness they deserve.
The Blue Morpho butterfly on the cover seems to represent Saroj, who must struggle through countless battles of thought to finally shed the insulation of her old life so she can embrace her destiny. She at first spins protective silk thoughts around herself, trapping herself so she can grow her wings. She is living in British Guiana, South America, in the 60s. I love her free spirit when she emerges from her cocoon, her imagination, her beloved places.
""...she also went there to escape to the seashore, to get a glimpse of the ocean, to run for miles along the Sea Wall, to wade, barefoot and curly-toed, into the foaming sheet of warm brown water when the tide rolled gently in and licked the beach. The ocean was freedom. Standing at its edge and gazing far out into the horizon, eastwards, she felt a deep, yearning ache that rose out of some unknown kernel within her, that reached out, far far out, to that distant horizon, to the unseen shores that lay beyond, and further, to the endlessness of the sky, to the endlessness of time.
...the tower room was all windows, without shade. Open the glass panes and the wind sailed through, a cleansing, vigorous wind that swept away care and uprooted disquiet. Up here you felt tall, free, strong. Up here, nothing could touch you. It was a refuge from the heat of the day, a sanctuary from the pain of living. An escape...."" pg. 47, 48
Saroj tries to control her life and hurriedly rushes down paths as they are presented to her. She fights and wriggles free from her controlling father (an orthodox Hindu lawyer) only to see his true intentions years later. She finds a childhood friend named Trixie who seems to understand her rebellion. Trixie rescues her from the tapestry of a deeply rooted tradition.
The men in this story seem more willing to follow tradition, to accept their fate. Nat is adopted by a doctor working in rural India (Madras State, 1947) and not only has the ability to heal, he later has the ability to water thirsty souls and women are drawn to him. He longs to find a woman who will invite him into her secret life. He realizes women are seeking spiritual unity and that true strength is gentle. Women long for a connection of the soul. He also wants to uncover the mystery of his own life.
Savitri understands silence. She lives from the inside and knows that the man she loves is the other part of her soul. Forbidden fruit is irresistible to her, yet she also has the ability to love unconditionally. She is a servant (cook's daughter) of the Lindsays, an English family living in India. She falls in love with the master's son. Her story starts in Madras, India, in 1921. She and David observe one another from a distance, living separate lives, wanting to find some connection that threatens to dissolve them both into a sea of troubles. While the storms of their lives threaten to tear them apart forever, somehow they manage to find a few moments of absolute bliss.
While Nat and Savitri's stories are essential to the plot, Saroj is definitely the main character who evolves through a process of choices and situations thrust upon her by life. Her exuberance for life is woven into thoughtful prose. You enter her world, one which she is trying to abandon. Her very soul desperately cries out not to be tied down to duty. She wants to make her own choices, especially when it comes to choosing a husband, her lover for life.
Standing at the window of her mind, you will observe the most intimate of thoughts. She will capture your heart. Instead of embracing various moment at times, she dreads her fate, the impending doom. She is dramatic and horrified at the thought of being forced into marriage at a marriageable age. She knows that in life, there is one man who is worthy of her intelligence and beauty. Locked in the prison of her father's discontent, the depths of her passion give her mind buoyancy. She at times flies away on her thoughts.
An impressive masterpiece of delicious thoughts. The prose will drip like mango juice into your thirsty soul. It will touch your life in a way no other story ever has.
Exquisitely Meditative. A vivid exotic mystery to unravel in
the labyrinths and gardens of your mind.

More on that later, first I'd like to just say that I did very much enjoy the adventure, and in many ways found this more fun than the original. The action is more vivid, the build up more mysterious, the humor is a funnier (Ivan truly made me laugh out loud more than once), and overall it is just a fun story with fun characters.
Now, the things I had trouble with: Let's just say, in real life the Jewish texts do not have a positive view of occult arts. Someone unfamiliar with Judaism might not be aware of it, but when they go into detail about Jewish customs such as Sukkoth, it feels weird to me. Like, the author is making the reader aware of certain ancient rituals but glossing over a major contradiction in another. But much like religious Christians who complained about holidays mentioned in Harry Potter, at some point you have to just remember it is a work of fantasy and suspend your belief for a fun story. The other thing I had difficulty with is Ivan's implied romantic interest in both girls and boys. It just felt unnecessary and included for reasons beyond the scope of the story. If those two things don't bother you, it is a fun read.",0

+Now that everyone is familiar with London courtesy of the Olympic Games coverage, this kid's guide advises of some of the attractions other than the Spice Girls and One Direction, and allows for the planning of a family-friendly visit to the Queen's charming town.
After a brief history, the guide gets you into the know about The Tower of London, The British Museum, The London Eye, Westminster Abbey, Kew Gardens, Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, Harrod's and much more. It wraps up with the usual quiz and list of movies filmed in London.
If you're lucky enough to be going to London on vacation, be prepared to be overwhelmed by the history of the place, as this would make for an educational and sight-seeing trip rather than the usual theme park variety of vacation.
Absolutely smashing!

+Joseph Wambaugh is one of those authors, that for one reason or the other, never fail to deliver. Yes, in his body of work there are some titles that perhaps overshadowed others, but this author can write.

I like to thing of Mr. Wambaugh as the Big Honcho of the police themed novels, and that is saying a lot. His humor will catch the reader when least expect it, and the drama is never far behind.

+""The key aim with e.encyclopedia is to give kids the best resources on paper and online."" ~Sue Grabham
Since 99% of public schools in the United States claim to have internet access and more than half of all school-age children are using the internet for homework, e.encyclopedia takes homework to the next level.
This book presents information on everything from Space Observatories to Philosophy. There are annotated maps, charts and timelines. It also has ""information keyword buttons."" They are little gray dots with white words or white words highlighted in gray. They are easy to find and are blended in all over the pages. When looking at information on volcanoes, I find a button with the word: volcanoes and a highlighted word: Lava.
By entering the site URL to a special area of the DK/Google site, you can find more detailed information. Then, you type in the keywords to find additional information, real-time reports, satellite images, virtual tours and databases. There are also downloadable images and just about everything kids need for homework and projects.
So, say you are researching Ancient Greece and have traveled through this book arriving at say pg. 376. There, you will find a picture of The Parthenon, information on amphitheaters and even a picture of an Athenian coin. To access additional information, you go to the ""DK/Google"" site and type in the keyword: ""Ancient Greece."" This takes you to a page with more options.
Explore everyday life in Ancient Greece
Important sites in Ancient Greece
Find out more about the Ancient Greeks
Examine Ancient Greek Artifacts
Then you click on ""Explore everyday life in Ancient Greece"" and are transported into a page from the history channel. So, in this way, you can find information super fast. It does seem they have made every effort to make links to only reputable sites so parents won't have to worry about children encountering inappropriate material. There are links to more than 1,000 useful sites.
So, do you have to pay extra to use the e.encyclopedia website?
No, it is free. The website address is located on the first page of the book. Once you purchase the book, the website is free.
This book covers a wide variety of subjects including: Earth, Nature, Science and Technology, People and Places, Society and Beliefs, Arts and Entertainment, History and the Human Body.
I think they have gone out of their way to make this kid friendly, however, even adults might be interested in finding many of the links. I found the section on seeing how an embryo develops in the womb to be rather fascinating. The section on new materials was quite interesting. Could seaweed be used to make a new plastic? Apparently there is material called ""Seagel"" that is made from agar and is the lightest solid.
You will also find answers to the following questions:
Are mountains still growing?
What causes tides?
How do scientists use the Quantum Theory?
Why is a swimming pool deeper than it looks?
Who were the first philosophers?
How are Musical instruments categorized?
What is a nanomachine?
Who really invented the World Wide Web?
How does the Internet Work?
DK excels in the illustration department. You will find a toucan peering out of the page on pg. 233 and beautiful full-color illustrations on every page.
Picture highlights: The picture of the Hindu Marriage. What a dress! Loved the picture of the nanorobots and the pictures for the diatonms were rather pretty. Also, who knew a pollen grain was so beautiful. The photography is spectacular.
DK & Google have joined forces to make homework fun. There is so much information here, I could spend hours just looking through page after page. e.encyclopedia will give your children a basic overview of our life on earth. Not only will children find these facts intriguing, once they find a subject of interest, they can take their knowledge to the next level by continuing their research online.
What a brilliant idea!

+222,Books,"An interesting read ...
+I rather liked this book. It's definitely NOT a travel guide; it's more of a philosophical exploration of variously defined ""places"" and ""locations,"" some of which might be visitable, but others not.
I'm a geography ""junky,"" and I often get lost for hours exploring via Google Earth. This book was kind of like that experience, except it utilizes the written word rather than visual images. The author's method of describing these places, utilizing essay, worked fine for me. It was a bit like being in a pinball machine, each chapter a ""concept"" to bounce against, moving from level to level.
What this book did for me -- I will probably look at places a little differently now. I love road trips, and love traveling ""out-of-the-ordinary"" routes (e.g., I did a cross-country road trip some years ago from Seattle to Duluth, MN, traveling ONLY 2-lane roads). I really enjoy discovering old run-down dilapidated homesteads and barns, and trying to find out who lived there. Small towns (pop. < 500) fascinate me -- what do the people who live there do for a living? Do their children stay, or move on to ""the big city""? I'm interested in history, certainly, but also in the how and why certain places exist.
So this book was a natural fit for me. A bit disjointed, sure, but with a lot of good stuff worth mining for.",0

+At the age of eighteen Posey McGlynn left her childhood home in Avalon, Pennsylvania and moved to England. Her family lived in a house located in the middle of the cemetery where her father dug graves. Posey had been teased mercilessly as a child and couldn't escape her hated hometown fast enough. Fifteen years later, her mother's stroke forces her to return and a series of events conspire to try to keep her from leaving.
Posey had vowed to return to England as soon as her mother was doing better but within a matter of weeks, she had a second stroke and passed away. Because the town council had voted to excavate the cemetery in favor of a mall, Posey and her sister, Vi, opted to have their mother cremated. The council offered Posey a position as Field Supervisor and a tidy sum for the house. Her employers in England couldn't hold her position while she was in America for an undetermined amount of time, so the money she'd make from the sale of the house would help her start anew once she returns to England. Her baby sister, Daisy, was buried there more than twenty years ago and Posey is plagued with fears of what will happen if her coffin hadn't held together over time. If her sister must be moved than she'd like it to be with dignity and doesn't want the anthropologist to take any tissue samples. The only person who may be able to help her is her attractive boarder Zee, owner of Necromedrea, the company that's been hired to carry out the excavation.
Zee has been working in the funeral graves, and excavations business since he was only fourteen. This excavation is his last before finalizing the sale of the company to a South Florida corporation and retiring at forty-two. He's lived for his company for so long and he's always moving about the country, so forming real relationships aren't possible. Now that he's close to retirement he wants to live a normal life - maybe even get married and have kids. He's interested in Posey, but how is he ever going to convince her that he feels anything for her when he doesn't know how to show his emotions?
Sandee McCann's A SEASON IN AVALON will take readers through a riot of emotions. You'll experience Posey's dislike of the small town and her upset over her sister's remains being moved. You'll fall in love with Zee and be drawn into his past as you learn more about him. After reading the goings on in this sleepy little town I could fully appreciate Posey's dislike of the community and anxiously read each page to find out what would happen next, especially when some of the characters began to display distasteful traits. Ms. McCann writes a well thought out story full of emotional situations that readers are sure to enjoy.

+Another great story from Patterson - and so timely, too. Between reading this book and watching the primary reviews each night, I feel like I'm getting the total picture - not a very appetizing one, I'm afraid. At times, I wondered if Patterson was letting his imagination run wild with some of the political shenanigans, but when I got to the end, and saw the names of all the people he consulted in writing this book, I realized that I'm probably pretty naive about what's really going on.
The deals and the bribes and the quid pro quos - is it really possible to find an honest politician in Washington? Or is arm-twisting and blackmailing and falsely accusing someone of something horrendous just an accepted strategy for getting ahead around the beltway?
The characters (and candidates for president) are a war hero, an evangelist and a puppet (whose strings are being pulled by a kingmaker). You find yourself assigning names of real people to these characters. Patterson evidently began The Race in 2004, but put it aside in favor of what was a more timely subject at the time - the Palestinian-Israeli conflict - thus, Exile. That was an extremely well-researched book and a wonderful read. It follows that The Race was constructed with the same attention to detail and accuracy. That just makes it all the more scary!
Patterson keeps you wondering about the outcome of the story right up to the last couple of pages - and, I must say, it was a very satisfying ending. I'm glad that I read this book - it was time well spent, but it was a lot like reading really awful stuff about people you respect - you do a lot of head-shaking and, idealist that I am, a lot of hand-wringing. Don't you just hate it when you have to come out of your dream world and face reality? I fear that Patterson has given us a very realistic look at what really goes on. It's all about digging up the dirt and knowing when to use it. Timing is everything.",0

+237,Books,"Basic business strategy with some interesting nuances
+There is nothing new or Earth-shattering in this book - it's about employing strategy within the context of e-commerce. The authors' agenda, from the preface, is to "... demystify the Internet ... which then empowers CEOs and their key executives to design their own Internet strategy and control their own destiny."
The central theme of the book is wrapped in three imperatives: (1) clarify your business strategy, (2) construct an "e-strategy", and (3) integrate the business and e-strategy.
While the ideas and approach are straightforward and basic, the real gems are contained in the interviews with key executives who have creatively conceived of viable (and innovative) e-strategies and have successfully integrated them into their overall business strategy. In my opinion the most interesting interview was with Philip C. Kantz (CEO, TAB Products). TAB Products makes folders, labels and other commodity items. Not the sexy stuff of e-strategies, but that's exactly what this executive crafted and it transformed his entire business. Not surprisingly the creative part of the strategy was minor compared to the leadership abilities that were required to transform a vision into action and results. This interview alone summarizes the entire message of the book. Each of the other four interviews provides insights about the creative, leadership and technical challenges of devising and implementing an e-strategy.
As you read this book don't be so quick to conclude that it is only stating the obvious. There are some wonderful ideas to be gleaned, inspiration and encouragement from executive interviews, and some subtle nuances in the authors' approach. The structure and message of the book puts e-strategy and the Internet into the familiar framework of business strategy 101. You'll benefit from the interviews, and will have a path marked with familiar landmarks towards implementing an e-strategy.",0

+STAY HIDDEN: A NOVEL (MIKE BOWDITCH MYSTERIES is the 9th series novel, but my first. It works okay as a standalone, but I felt like I was missing something important because it never explains anything about Mike’s estrangement from the daughter of his father-figure/mentor (Charlie). The novel is a snail-paced police procedural (game warden investigator procedural, to be more precise).
In the novel, newly minted warden investigator Mike is assigned his first case--the fatal shooting of a woman who was hanging white laundry on a clothesline on isolated Maquoit Island, which is located off the coast of Maine. The first reports suggest that a hunter mistook the white fabric of her laundry for a white-tailed deer.
However, forensic details at the incident scene, and the general secretiveness of the island residents (especially the secretiveness of take-charge-guy Harmon Reed) make Mike suspicious about the “hunting accident”. His further interviews and investigations prove out his suspicion that it was murder. Mike successfully identifies the killer, but nearly loses his own life in the process.
If I liked the Mike Bowditch character enough to want to read further series novels, I would definitely start with the first one, [[ASIN:1250161657 The Poacher’s Son]]. I’m sure that it’s more interesting than this one, which has a predictable plot and is best described as tedious. The Maquoit Island setting rings true, and I hope that the islanders will deal with the deer/tick problem soon (if it really exists).

Also, the rules of magic are well realized and consistent.
The human drama is really what makes this series go. There are elves and dwarves and dragons, but the human cities are where most of the action takes place. In 'Lord of the Rings' you get a better glimpse of how Lothlórien works than Gondor. Here it's just the opposite. The human cities are vibrant and well-imagined.
This is the first book in the series, so look no further. In some ways, this and the sequel are the best, however, the subsequent books are consistently gripping.

Aunt Laya Saul has finally written the book she wishes someone had written for her when she was a teenager. Not only did she make painful mistakes, she learned a great deal in the process. Through her own journey to adulthood, she learned how to recognize opportunities and avoid dangers.
All the topics are divided into small chapters so this book is very easy to read and many of the chapters are two to three pages. She discusses how each of us has challenges and gifts and how we can plug into our intuition and trust our instincts. She also covers topics like:
Defining Boundaries
Gaining a New Perspective
Expecting the Unexpected
Choices that Change Your Life
Dealing with Failure and Regret
Pain and Suffering as Part of Living
Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Preventing Abuse
Life and Death
You and the World
Relationships
Family and Friends
Forgiveness
Live Your Dreams
Aunt Laya Saul has a true love for quotes and this book is filled with inspirational moments, stories and wisdom gained from experience and reading. She has a talent for taking difficult issues and making the solutions seem very logical and desirable. Aunt Laya is on your side and she quickly summarizes each issue and then presents the negative and positive results of each choice you could make. The index is well organized and you can quickly locate issues like peace, compassion, anxiety, frustration, love, jealousy and many others.
Through reading this book you can avoid dangerous situations and learn how to nurture healthy relationships. I liked her ideas about replacing fear with excitement and how to approach change one breath at a time. ""You Don't Have to Learn Everything the Hard Way"" is a encouraging book that can be enjoyed by teenagers and adults of any age. These are issues that follow us throughout our lives. There are also notes about additional reading materials and resources, which would be of interest to anyone working with teens. Highly recommended for parents to give to their teens because this book could also provide a way to exchange life-changing information and give parents and teens the opportunity to see both sides of the issues.

+In the past few months I've read seven books on saving money at the grocery store and have been able to save $20 to $40 on each shopping trip. While each book gave new ideas, ""The Coupon Mom's Guide to Cutting Your Grocery Bills In Half"" is probably the most comprehensive.
Stephanie Nelson begins her book by explaining various shopping styles and then makes a convincing case for shopping at wholesale clubs. She then explains how you can save when you buy meats, organic foods, dairy products and beauty products.
While a lot of this book is about clipping coupons, some of the information is more about a back-to-basics approach. Do you really want to wash your own lettuce, repackages bulk meats, make your own tortilla chips, make milk from powdered milk and shred your own cheese? I know I don't but I could be saving even more money if I was willing to give up some convenience foods. I also won't be giving up my Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract for the 16-ounce bottle at Costco. Yes it is cheaper but there is a great difference in flavor. Yes I've done some taste tests with the cheaper vanilla.
So while you read this book you can take all your personal preferences into consideration. Sometimes saving a few pennies just isn't worth the inconvenience. I will say however I use her advice about using baking soda to scrub pots and pans.
Some of the most valuable information in this book is the websites where you can find printable coupons. There is a list of websites in the back of the book. There is also some information on how to use the author's website which I found to be useful.
One of the things I think is amazing is how Stephanie Nelson can remember all the prices of all the foods she is buying. She saves even more money when she finds a price discrepancy.

+244,Books,"Great Recipes and Useful Advice on Cooking with Cast Iron
+Cooking with cast iron is different than cooking with stainless steel or with aluminum. Cast iron requires different care and it heats up and retains heat differently. A lot of recipes that are written for general cookware work fine in cast iron. That said, recipes that are developed and written specifically for cast iron seem to just work better. I like cooking with cast iron cookware and I am always looking for good recipes to try in the cast iron cookware that I have. I found this book on a book stack and decided to give it a try, and so far it has definitely met my expectations and given me more ideas for the kitchen.
The introduction starts off with a short but interesting background of cast iron cooking and focuses specifically on Wagner Ware and Griswold cast iron (page 29 makes this very clear - this is a brand-name cookbook). Ultimately the brand is not really all that important unless you have a sentimental connection to a specific manufacturer or have had bad experiences with a brand in the past. The history is interesting material and is truly worth the read.
As with most other cast iron cookbooks I have seen, this one includes a section on proper care and maintenance of cast iron. Most of the information is straightforward and common-sense stuff, but there are a few informational items that I did not know before, specifically regarding self-cleaning ovens and open flames.
At several points in this cookbook there is mention of someone named Aunt Ellen. At first I thought this was a relative of the book's author and that this was simply a tribute to a favorite aunt, but I finally discovered an explanation of Aunt Ellen and who she was, on page 27. The anecdotes and various sayings by Aunt Ellen come from an industrious and knowledgeable woman who worked for Griswold and shared recipes, tips and advice regarding cast iron cookware.
There are four main sections in this cookbook: Luncheon and other Nibbles, Vegetables and other Sides, Main Courses (which is subdivided into Poultry, Meat and Seafood), and finally Desserts. I have not tried a lot of these recipes yet but I have one that I tried in particular that turned out memorably well - Mom's Macaroni and Cheese with Bacon, which is the very first recipe in the book. Made in a cast iron Dutch oven, it turned out entirely different than that made in a stoneware crock or casserole dish, but it was a big hit with the family and is getting made again this evening.
Most recipes (not quite all) have gorgeous, full-color pictures with the finished dish. The majority of these show the dish still in the cast iron cookware used to prepare them. I very much like the formatting and layout of this cookbook.
If I could change one thing about this cookbook, I would add an indicator with the recipe, either directly under the title or in the narrative introduction, a statement about what kind of pan, pot or griddle is needed to prepare it. This is a small thing and adding it would have made this cookbook even better.
This is a fine book for anyone who likes cast iron cookware and wants a good collection of recipes that are geared specifically for cooking with cast iron. There is a little bit of everything in this cookbook, there are some great stories and lots of advice from Aunt Ellen's archives. At the current price (about $10) this book is a bargain.",0

+The book, by Jonathan Tepperman, excellently looks into the world situation, as many describe as hopeless, but sees many examples of extraordinary success in tackling big problems and presents them as ways which might also be used elsewhere. The common denominator of the successes is using pragmatism, not looking for perfection, but moving positively.
First, he sees the Terrible Ten problems being income inequality, immigration, corruption, Islamic extremism, civil war, the resource curse, energy, the middle income trap, gridlock I, and gridlock II.
As for possible improvements, I will cover these.....
Brazil's poverty.
Rather than lots of social programs, Lula introduced Bolsa Familia, just giving poor families cash with certain rules, like having the kids attend school so that future generations will have greater chances for success in addition to making the parents better consumers. And being cheaper for the government. Basically combining left wing goals with right wing, Milton Friedman economics......pragmatism.
Canada's need for more people, but white resistance, even from existing minorities.
So, rather than an incremental approach to immigration, mass immigration with strict vetting for those most likely to help the economy, resulting in a true multicultural nation. And with strong government support for multiculturalism, it made the nation more Canadian, not less.
Mexican gridlock.

It really could only happen in the US because of such things like its bankruptcy laws which encourage risk taking, RE laws which sometimes allow residential land owners also mineral rights thus encouraging investment returns for average people, Wall Street lending/investment, environmental costs effectively managed, lesser population density than Europe, etc.
Other topics include Rwanda's overcoming its genocidal past, Indonesia overcoming terrorism, Singapore overcoming corruption and lack of natural resources and Botswana overcoming conflicts over new diamond riches.
Sure, it takes special situations, like good leaders or just good luck, but all counties or governments could gain insights from the book, hence I recommend it.",0

+This was really a great mystery - it’s amazing that Marjorie has the kind of connections with law enforcement that she can participate in murder investigations. But, this is a small town, and she is one of its most revered citizens. An indexer? I didn’t know there were folks that have creating indexes for books as their sole pursuit - but somebody has to put them together, and now I know there are “indexers”!
One of the most interesting parts of this investigation was Marjorie’s trip to the Grafton School, better known as a home for the feeble-minded, defective, and insane. Children shortly after birth are dropped off there when parents can’t cope - and this mystery involves the disappearance of one of the children. The author did some research about places like this - revealing that women were sterilized until the practice was curtailed in 1964. The whole thing is a bit unnerving to read about.
I enjoyed this mystery - it took some twists that I didn’t suspect, and wrapped up very nicely, with Marjorie’s help.",0

+I am really enjoying the Olivia Knight series. This latest book has a twist ending, not shocking but good. The characters relationship continues and deepens with each book. I did hit a part through the book when Olivia goes undercover that was confusing to read. Her character has an alias in prison but the writer would sometimes use the name Andrea(the alias) and switch to the cell mates calling her Olivia again. Just an error but it kind of throws you off while you're reading it. I look forward to the next book in this series. It sounds like it'll be really interesting!",0

+253,Books,"A Motivational Book on How to Create Yourself
+Daniel Milstein's rags to riches story is fascinating and he seems to be one of the most determined individuals I've ever read about. In this well-designed book he has a wealth of information to share.
If well-meaning people have told you your dreams are impossible, Daniel Milstein has the opposite opinion. Through telling you stories about many individuals who made it big, he sets the stage for your own story to unfold. This motivational book has great examples of super successful individuals who took charge of their own lives.
One quote I really like is by the author and says: “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” This is so true. I also had to smile at the quote: “Hard work puts you in a place where good luck can find you.”
This is one of those books where you want to highlight something on each page. There are so many witty quips and lol funny moments. So this book not only gives you hard-earned wisdom it is also enjoyable to read.
This book could not have come into my life at a better time. Now I'm willing to follow the advice. I believe the author is right when he says you may have to sacrifice something in your life to follow your dreams.
So let the message of this book captivate you and take the principles to heart. Books like this are game changers. If you are serious about being successful you can't go wrong taking this author's advice.

+No matter how hard I try, I cannot warm to this JUST TYPE 2015 WALL CALENDAR. Printed on cream stock in just two colors (red and black), it's boring--definitely not the sort of ""eye candy"" you expect in a monthly wall calendar. Hanging open on a wall, it displays each month's name in headline-sized type, and a series of odd-looking, mismatched date numbers. (To see what the calendar will look like on your wall, click on the product-page photos to expand them and see the calendar's actual double-page appearance.)
The date numbers appear to be mismatched because they are examples of the different variations that are available for the typeface (e.g., Matrix Bold, Matrix Script Book, Matrix Inline Extra Bold, Matrix Regular, etc.). I bought this calendar partly for the ""Big Grids"" promised by the subtitle, but in fact there isn't much space under each date for writing in appointments or reminders.
At the top of each month's display, there are a few comments on the history of the featured typeface (e.g., Matrix (for February) was the first typeface designed on a Mac). There are further comments on relative heights and shapes of serifs, terminals, etc., to explain the features that distinguish the particular typeface from other typefaces. The 2015 calendar showcases the following twelve typefaces: Akzidenz-Grotesque BQ; Matrix; Rockwell; Adobe Caslon; Snell Roundhand/Poppl-Residenz; Copperplate Gothic; ITC Century; Gill Sans; Dispatch; Bodoni; Bauhaus; and Trajan.
As soon as I can find something else to hang in the wall space, this calendar is coming down. The displays simply aren't interesting enough to look at for a month at a time over the course of an entire year. I rate the JUST TYPE 2015 calendar at 2 stars (""I don't like it"" on the official Amazon scale).",0

+260,Books,"A Healthy Approach to Cooking
+The cookbook I received has a different title on the cover. Instead of ""Easy Cookbook for Healthy, Wholesome Recipes"", the title on mine reads ""How to Cook Healthier: An Easy Cookbook for Balanced Living"". Other than the title, the cover is exactly the same and I assume the contents is as well. I will proceed under that assumption.
My wife and I have been trying to get into a healthier lifestyle, and she wants to prepare healthier meals - lower sodium, lower sugar, higher protein, etc. This is one of the titles we have selected to work towards that goal, and so far she and I are both pleased with it. This is a different kind of cookbook than I usually see, and it is a refreshing approach to cooking.
The first ~60 pages deal with cooking concepts rather than recipes or health information which is not at all what I was expecting. The author presents several different concepts with a few example recipes to demonstrate the concept being presented. I think this is the first book that I've seen that has a page dedicated to the art of boiling water... In addition to cooking with water, there are sections of cooking in pans, cooking in the oven, and cooking on the grill. These are not exhaustive (for example, the section on cooking in water avoids sous vide) so do not expect a comprehensive cooking course here, but the idea is to get back to the essential skills and techniques to be successful in the kitchen.
There are several chapters of recipes as well, and these are broken down into more traditional chapters, such as breakfast foods and desserts.
There is a subtle but important feature about this book that is important to note. The author avoids refined sugars and wheat flours, sticking to more natural sweeteners like honey and maple syrup and flour substitutes like almond flour. This can be assumed from the title, but it's a selling point that probably should be made more obvious.
This is an interesting book. It reads like a basic cooking class, though the intent is to present more of a cooking reset in the kitchen, followed up with healthy recipes. I like it and am looking forward to working with this book more.",0

+Wendell Berry's book is the best argument I have read against the "religion" of scientism practiced by our culture in quite some time. The Enlightenment is dead, and unfortunately many in and out of science refuse to acknowledge it. Mathematical rationalism that was thought to be the best access to ALL human knowledge and wisdom during the Enlightenment. Modern science emerged as the standard bearer of the Enlightenment towards this lofty goal, replacing all other epistemologies. By the mid-twentieth century, epistemologies like philosophy, theology, and mythology were seen as either arcane or trivial - certainly unscientific (sic). E.O. Wilson (one of my favorite biologists) in CONSILIENCE writes at the apogee of this thinking and yes, faith. In CONSILIENCE Wilson wishes to either ignore or concretize the divine - I can't quite get which. Much of our culture does pretty much the same. Wendell Berry's argument is that we must look past scientific description and look deeper into the world around us to achieve wisdom and appreciate the "depth of the world." The superstition (actually a religion to my mind) that Berry argues against is the notion that through science we can come to understand it ALL, which is called scientism. Yet, Berry acknowledges and celebrates science's value to our culture from a practical and philosophical perspective but warns us against relying on it for moral judgment. Scientism lacks soul, spirit - it is a cold "religion" that does not acknowledge the deep mystery of the universe, because this mystery is just another problem to be solved by measurement and experiment. Berry's implicit argument is that no moral culture can arise from it. Science is but one way to come to understand our place in the universe, and we are warned in Berry's book that we should not unduly privilege it since science cannot come to an understanding of the divine aspects of existence.",0

+NAUGHTY BUT NICE by Donna Kauffman
Irish businessman Griffin is determined to transform Hamilton from a small close-knit community to a global commodity. His plan would revive the town and bring in much needed revenue. However, not everyone shares his enthusiasm. Melody owns the town bakery and she isn't interested in changing anything about her life or the town. Griffin and Melody may have differing views on the future of Hamilton, but that doesn't stop them from caving into the passion broiling between them.
Donna Kauffman kicks off THE NAUGHTY LIST anthology with an utterly charming story that will drive home the power of love versus adversity. I got a kick out of the sparks flying between Griffin and Melody and love how they're able to express their feelings regarding the town and the reasons behind their points of view. Besides all that you get to revisit HAMILTON and the people who make it so special. Look for other HAMILTON stories, pick up copies of these anthologies:
KISSING SANTA CLAUS - `LOCK, STOCK & JINGLE BELLS'
TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT - ` UNLEASHED'
ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS by Cynthia Eden
Toy creator Christie Crenshaw's ego has taken a blow since her ex-boyfriend has already moved on - and more than likely cheated on her before their split. Christmas is quickly approaching and she's been a very good girl this year but what she wants won't fit in a stocking - a red hot scorching fling ... no strings attached. Given the opportunity she even perches on Santa's lap and whispers her request to him. Police officer Jonas (AKA Santa Stud) has wanted Christie for years and he's definitely more than willing to deliver her gift personally.
Cynthia Eden makes brainy women downright sexy. I adored Christie's spunky attitude and how she refuses to back down from what she wants. Jonas is really very sweet and loveable - as well as undeniably sexy. This story has the perfect blend of humor, suspense, scorching sex and Christmas cheer.
TATTOOS AND MISTLETOE by Susan Fox
Charlie's whole reason for returning to her hometown is to fix up her aunt's B&B so that she can sell it and open her own tattoo parlor in Toronto. What she doesn't anticipate is to have to contend with major renovations and LJ who has fond memories of Charlie's younger days. Charlie doesn't view her artistic endeavors in town as vandalism, it was creative expression - but some people never forget ... or forgive. Can Charlie find a way to resolve her feelings about the town and people she left behind? LJ certainly hopes so...
Susan Lyons will have you smiling and remembering those `growing pains' with only a twinge of embarrassment as you delve into TATTOOS AND MISTLETOE. I love how Charlie forges her own path and doesn't kowtow to other peoples ideals. LJ won me over when he chose to overlook Charlie's snarky attitude and love her despite his parents' opinions about her. This story shows readers that there's real beauty in simply being yourself - without any pretense.
THE NAUGHTY LIST may be marketed as a Christmas book but in actuality it's a perfect `feel good' book for any time of year. Each author's voice resonates through their individual story while sticking with the naughty theme which makes this a wonderful read. Looking for a bad boy out to change the world? What about a good girl brainiac who's only Christmas wish is to be very bad? And of course, even tattooed artists with an axe to grind enjoy a little mistletoe and merry making. Take a break from the hussle and bustle of the holiday season and rather than worrying about being nice so that Santa leaves those gifts you desire, imagine how much more fun you'd have if you're on THE NAUGHTY LIST.

+Jamaica & New York, in the late 1800's to early-20th Century. 17 year old Rachel is given an exclusive education by way of a wealthy family. Rachel has a daughter, Margaret during the time she is there.
She is invited to many parties given in the family home.
33 year old Henry, a widower whose child died with his wife. Henry was born and always lived on the island.
Rachel is a remote, reserved even frosty; Henry the exact opposite *sigh*

The novel is told from different POVs, including Rachel, her mother, Henry, Margaret and their oldest son James. I love this type of storytelling.
Rachel, Henry, Margaret and the Georges, not so much - they never came to life for me even though the writing is gorgeous.

+270,Books,"WOW- this is so well laid out- excellent mix of learning styles represented
+As a teacher, I have learned over the years that in order to cover a subject to reach the most people, you have to present the topic in various learning styles. Having a topic covered only in book or only orally when it comes to language is not going to reach all different types of learning styles.
LATIN AMERICAN SPANISH in the OXFORD TAKE OFF IN series is an excellent program. There is a very well laid out presentation of the subject matter and many different learning styles can be reached with this series, although the visual is limited to words in the books only and not visuals as in DVDs.
WHAT COMES IN THIS SET?
This set comes with 4 lesson CDs which contain many lessons as well as review sessions. There is also a practice CD (total of 5 in the kit).
There is a lesson book, and a travel dictionary and travel book.
CD LESSONS
The CD lessons are very well laid out. First the listener is taken through a narrative introduction of various terms and pronunciations of words and phrases featured in the chapter.
Once the lesson is listened to several times, then the student progresses to written lessons which are in the lesson book.
These lessons are broken into several sections.
There are several activities which could be matching exercise using conversation featured in the chapter.
There are vocabulary lists to go over written with the Spanish first and then the English translation.
There are language building activities which feature special instructions for some things that are in the Spanish language which the student might not be aware of. Usually there are several language facts presented in each Lesson.
Once the book activities are completed, the student is directed back to the CD to listen to the remaining activities for that lesson/chapter.
TRAVEL BOOK
The travel book is laid out extremely well. It is broken up into topics of relevance. For example, if you might be looking to discuss knitting with someone in Spanish, you can look under the leisure games & pastimes category and you will find the word for knitting.
At the end of each category, there is a dialogue completely in Spanish which allows the reader to test their ability to comprehend what is being said and possibly use it in their interactions.
MP3
I have not had the chance to download the MP3 files which are available to put on an MP3 player to take with you while on the move, but it is available.
FINAL COMMENTS
I am very impressed with this language course. I have had the opportunity to experience many different language courses over the years and I have to say that this course is laid out the nicest of any that I have seen so far. It is easy to use, interesting, and covers various aspects of language without getting boring.
The books are black and white and well laid out, but there are no color photos or pictures in these books to distract from the language being learned.
I also appreciate the compactness of the set- it is easy to take with you and various methods of learning (MP3 and CD ) are made available to help with the ease of use and transport.
I am giving this 5 stars.
When I finish the course, if anything changes, I will be sure to update my review.",0

+Book clubs are staid and uninspiring with nothing but classics and `safe' titles as book selections, right? Not true! The Dirty Girls Book Club is daring to venture out of the safe genres and checking out some sinfully delicious erotic titles - and if they opt to do a little extracurricular research on the topics then so much the better, right?
Kim Chang dreams of starting a career based on her love for art, but her traditional Chinese parents have only agreed to allow her to study art for two years in Vancouver and then she's expected to return to Hong Kong and take up a position in the company her parents' built. Defying them isn't even something she'd consider but she loves Vancouver, her book club friends and knows she wants more from life than being buried behind a desk with her creativity stifled.
The book club's newest selection, `Ride Her, Cowboy' isn't exactly Kim's ideal read, she's a through and through city girl after all, but figures the sex scenes might make it worth reading. Marielle takes things a step further and suggests a field trip to a country fair and rodeo which ultimately horrifies Kim who can't imagine life outside a city but she agrees to go - and becomes fixated on one cowboy in particular, Ty Ronan.
Ty enjoys competing at the rodeos though he's no longer a full time pro since he bought the Ronan Ranch three years ago. He's certainly glad he opted to compete at the Fraser Valley rodeo when he lays eyes on an exotic creature that reminds him of a dragonfly with her spiky colored hair and silky bright top. She looks so out of place yet Ty can't deny she arouses him in ways he wouldn't have expected. Ty's mother insists it's time that he look for a wife, but he hasn't had the time or interest but something about Kim just clicks with him.
They're from two different worlds and Kim has no illusions about a happily-ever-after with Ty but there's nothing wrong with looking. Unfortunately she's a lightweight when it comes to alcohol and instead of sticking to her `values' she decides to follow her passion and accompany Ty back to his room. It's an action she regrets in the morning, but then as she reads more of their book selection and engages in discussions with the rest of the book club she realizes that there's nothing wrong with embracing the desire broiling between her and Ty, after all she'll be returning to Hong Kong while he'll be staying on his beloved ranch. What she soon realizes is there is life outside of the city and Ty is more than supportive of her business ideas, something her parents might not be willing to accept. Can Kim find the strength to stand up to her parents and build a future for herself with the man she's coming to love?
Savanna Fox's DARE TO BE DIRTY is a refreshingly fun and entertaining read. In fact, the series, DIRTY GIRLS BOOK CLUB, has proven to be wickedly delightful so far. How many times have you read a romance novel and wanted to step into the heroine's position or wondered if you could spice up your love life by incorporating a few of the ideas from the book into your own bedroom? Ms. Fox allows readers to let their imaginations run wild as Kim and Ty embark on their whirlwind romance despite their ethnic differences and the results are positively delightful. Kim's artistic nature just drew me to her and Ty... well let's face it; cowboys are just too sexy for words. They're not your typical couple which I think is part of what makes this story one you'll want to read over and over.
Here are the titles in the DIRTY GIRLS BOOK CLUB, in order:

+278,Books,"Disjointed, characters feel wooden.
+My top three favorite books of all time include Hannibal by Thomas Harris with the correct, original ending. I didn't love Hannibal Rising, but I was happy enough with it. So I was excited about Cari Mora enough to pre-order the Audible version. Sadly, I'm left disappointed and a little bored after listening to it.
The first problem is the self narration by the author. This can be wonderful, but usually doesn't work out well and this is one of those times when a professional voice actor should have been hired. The flow is not as smooth as it could be and there are awkward pauses here and there.
I was in no way expecting a recreation of Hannibal Lector or Clarice here. Yet there are faint, very watered down echoes of both characters - for example the weird use of ""okeydoke"" here. The story includes similarly graphic, violence and vile predilections from several lead characters as well as a grim backstory for Cari. Unfortunately, these all lack the deeply thought out, twisted nobility and underhanded charm of Lector or Clarice or even Inspector Patzi. Instead, Hans-Pedro and Cari feel like cheap imposters. There is no honor or even appreciation for anything in life within these characters. I just found the whole book felt like an after thought and slapped together - even the gold as the focus of the plot, never seemed important. There are no iconic lines from Cari Mora to wiggle into our lexicon either - Mr Harris left his wit on the editor's floor I'm afraid.",0

+283,Books,"The book was very engaging and easy to read
+received a free copy of this book from She Speaks. The book was very engaging and easy to read. It gave a great peak into the day to day realities of life during WWII with a focus on the lives of women and the many important ways they kept the world running in the absence of the men who were at war. It was difficult to read about all of the suffering at home, in both the city and countryside, and in the concentration camps. It was great to see the bravery of many women who risked their lives to save others in part due to their inconspicuous nature. Also the idea that some Nazis were "good" people while others simply were not in any way good always intrigues me. The characters were interesting and multi-faceted. Overall, it was a good story with likable characters and a topic which brings about reflection on the way in which WWII came about and progressed",0

+289,Books,"Mastering the Seven Elements of Fitness
+With the popularity of makeover shows, it is no surprise to find books promoting the idea of ""getting in shape fast."" It only took my husband asking me if I wanted to go on one of those makeover shows to get me thinking I could probably do this myself without surgery and a ""lot"" of patience. What I worry about is how discouraged some people might become when four weeks pass and they look at themselves in the mirror and see minimal results.
For me, it has taken over 24 weeks of serious working out for about 45 minutes a day, not to mention all the salads I've had to eat to get to a point where I feel that I should have started. I've found that diets don't work, but diet counts. If that makes any sense.
But with that aside, I think this book is for people who are between 10-20 lbs overweight. Then, you will probably see dramatic results. For anyone who is trying to lose 50 or more pounds, it is going to take much longer than 4 weeks.
So, I would say that this book is more helpful for anyone looking for lifestyle changes on a permanent basis. Toss out the ""4-week"" idea and think ""life plan for getting fit and staying that way."" Then, you will enjoy this book and it becomes a starting point for major changes down the road. I would just hate to see anyone toss out the wonderful ideas when they don't see dramatic changes in four weeks.
The concepts are amazingly well organized. The Seven Elements each have their own chapters. You explore: your workout, diet, spirituality, rest, emotions, body image, work and finally the last chapter analyzes your results. Throughout the pages you will find ""quick tips"" and ""what you'll learn"" pointers. The fitness test is helpful to determine your present strength level. The ""walk-run"" idea is probably not new to you if you have a treadmill, but might interest you if you have only been walking. The walking program is highly detailed and gives you a schedule for all four weeks, day by day.
If you don't have a lot of time to workout, you can try the 20-minute workout. There is a helpful chart for major muscle groups. If you enjoy learning exercises from a book, there are quite a few exercises. I still recommend getting exercise videos to learn how to do Pilates, yoga or any other exercise you want to try. You can refer back to the book to see the pictures, but nothing compares to a one-on-one session with a professional instructor on video/DVD. A video will help you keep the intensity going and an instructor will show you what you might be doing wrong.
Chapter two delves into the area of diet. I'm going to say that I agree with Shape's approach to eating right. The shape food pyramid puts vegetables and fruits on the bottom of the pyramid and whole grains on the third level. Water is on the second level. This makes sense and I've lost weight following these ideas. I'm less hungry when I drink enough water and my moods are more constant when I drink enough fluids and exercise almost daily. If you are a vegetarian, there is information for your diet which includes suggestions for meat substitutes, etc.
I must say that the weekly menus are rather impressive. They have easy-to-prepare recipes for every single meal, every single day for four weeks. You start to eat 5 times a day which you really need to do once you start working out more. Some of the delicious recipes include:
Quinoa Salad with Red Peppers and Pine Nuts
Frozen Cinnamon Cappuccino
Tarragon Mashed Potatoes
Grilled Tuna Salad
Thai Pudding
Banana-Soy Shake
Chicken Pot Stickers
The amazing thing about the recipes is the lack of complicated preparation steps and the speed at which the meals can be prepared. There is an intriguing section that shows you how to navigate your grocery store. The Mango and Ginger Cream recipe reminded me of how we mix low-fat sour cream with honey or stevia and a dash of vanilla. Suddenly pieces of fruit becomes an exotic treat when dipped in creamy vanilla bliss. I can eat an orange, banana and apple in one sitting while watching a TV show. That is one of the ways I get in my fruit for the day.
The chapter on spirituality encourages you to explore new areas of your life. The ""are you starving your soul? questionnaire could be enlightening in itself. The list of ""7 people we all need"" shows you that you can't just rely on one friend to satisfy all your friendship needs. Whether you try journaling or meditation, there are plenty of ways to feel more nourished. Try yoga! The next chapter should be called: Your sleep number. ;) Although, it also deals with vacations and visualization. Then, you explore body image and finally analyze your results.
Helpful Tools that make this book a keeper:
How to calculate your daily calories
How to calculate your Body Mass Index
Fitness Test
Menu Plans
When you start buying smaller clothes, reading this book is going to be so worth it! Just remember, when you are first working out, you might gain weight. Once you get over that hurdle, the pounds start to drop. It took me years of working out, panicking because I'd gain a few pounds and starting over again to realize that you just have to live through the first 24 weeks and deal with it. Once you get to week 25 things are looking pretty darn good and by then you have been able to apply many of the principles in this book. It is more about lifestyle changes than ""I have to be fit in 4 weeks."" This book could change your life around, just be patient with yourself and forgive yourself on those days when you break all the rules. The principles are working for me and I'm pretty sure they will work for you. Exercise is key!

+""Yoga is a practice of awakening and connecting with all that is."" ~Cyndi Lee
There are moments in time when complete silence or ""music without instruction"" is desirable. Cyndi Lee has created a tiny box of cards to promote yoga, all while giving you a choice in your musical tastes. If you have the OM Yoga in a Box Basic Level, you could use the included CD or choose your own relaxing music. Even if you have the OM Yoga in a box set, you might want to purchase this smaller box for traveling. You also get the benefit of a booklet since there isn't an instructional CD in this particular OM Yoga Flash Card Set.
The poses are divided into 7 sections:
Warm-up
Sun Salutation
Standing Poses
Seated Poses
Backbending
Finishing Poses
Relaxation Poses
To enjoy this tiny flash card set, you will also need a yoga mat and a belt or yoga strap. To make your workout more comfortable, try putting a folded towel in the center of your mat and keep a blanket or comforter nearby for the final relaxation stage.
The poses are featured on one side of the cards, while the sketches and explanations give more detailed information on the other. When I first saw ""yoga flashcards"" I can't say I was overly enthusiastic about the idea, but now I love this method. Not only do you have the pictures on the ground when you are facing the ground, you can complete an entire yoga practice in complete silence or with calming music.
Cyndi Lee is the director of the OM yoga center where she teaches hatha yoga. She has been teaching yoga for over 20 years, but her pictures look like she is ageless. Her beauty represents the deeply calming benefits of yoga. Her work has been featured in Shape, New York Magazine, Yoga Journal, Elle, Forbes, Newsweek and Self. She writes a regular column and lives in New York City. She travels to lead workshops and retreats in places like London, France, Italy and the Virgin Islands.

+Hank's Radio is the perfect fourth book in the Haunted Collection series by Ron Ripley. I am not sure how he does it, but the author just keeps writing this awesome books. This book is one of those that I just couldn't put down, pretty much the entire series is a continues page turner and I read a book a day and just kept going until I was done with the series, then moved onto the next series.
The pace was just right making you read on without realizing that you finished it before you know it. The plots are well developed and read with ease. The author still switches the point of view between the different characters which makes it very easy to follow.
Stefan continues to cause havoc with his items while Victor, Tom and Jeremy try to stop him. Of course it is not as easy as they hope it to be and each case is a challenge and often they have to split up.

+I absolutely adore this! I use it to cut out iron on vinyl into fun shapes so that I can make beautiful, unique baby clothes for my own children as well as for those of friends. I also experimented with using glittered vinyl and ironing feather shapes onto simple canvas bags to give to my family and friends as Christmas gifts, and boy were they ever a hit. I see my friends and family using them all the time, so I know they were a gift that were truly appreciated and not just shoved in a closet.
But back to the baby clothes, I don't know about you, but I don't actually like a lot of the standard baby clothes from inexpensive brands. Either they have a lot of cartoon characters that seem inappropriate for someone young who doesn't watch TV, or they just don't seem personalized or charming in any way. With my cricut machine, it takes 10 minutes to design and cut out a fabulous little iron on with, say, a mother and baby elephant, or autumn leaves, or a spider for Halloween. A lot of businesses sell things that I like less for $20 or more, while I can just buy a simple package of plain onesies or T-shirts and make something perfectly unique and customized for much less money.
While this is supposed to be the lowest end model, it does everything else the more expensive versions do, with just a little more effort. For example, you need to actually plug it into your computer via USB rather than using Bluetooth from your iPad. And if you want to cut and make designs on paper with a pen during the same cutting cycle, you need to buy a special blade. I don't use that functionality at all, so I don't notice any inconvenience or difference between this and the more expensive models. If you primarily want to use this for fabric cutting or cutting out iron ions for making clothing, and don't mind hooking this up to your laptop or computer, this is absolutely sufficient for all your needs.

+These are so easy to use. The water flows freely to the tip and makes watercolor so much fun. No nasty brush water needed.

It is nice because they can spend the time doing it and then they have something special to keep. They are excited when they make something themselves.
This is a great activity for a rainy day or a day when your child is sick or when you are just stuck at home. It is a good way to keep a child busy.

+This set of 9 flower diamond paintings from Warm Fox is a fantastic value. And if you don’t like all of the pictures, you can give one or two away as gifts or to share the diamond painting love. All of the paintings are individually wrapped, with their own tool set and drill pack. Or you can keep them all for yourself, which is what I’m doing. Diamond painting is a relaxing hobby for me, so I like to have lots of them.
All of the paintings are full drill, with round drills.
The paintings use between 20 and 24 colors of drills. The colors are DMC color-coded.
Most of the charts use uppercase letters, a few use uppercase letters and numbers. On most of the canvases, the printing is clear. But on a few, some of the darker symbols are hard to read. For example, on the daisy painting that has “Welcome” printed on a box, some of the dark symbols are difficult to read. The symbols 2 and L are used for black and dark blue, white letters printed on black and dark blue circles, and they just look like a blur. The white printing is faint.
The tool sets are basic but provide the tools to get the job done: a drill tray, a drill pen, and red wax.",0

They are narrow enough that they can curve to accommodate your design. About the only thing I would change if I could, would be to be able to select a specific set of coordinated designs rather than an assortment because it would make decorating a bit easier with a coordinated specific set of colors/designs.

+The rubber bands in this loom refill kit seem to be pretty good, I tried every color and did not have any break. And I actually used some of them two or three times, because I was trying different patterns and took them apart if I didn’t like the result.
I did get the colors of rubber bands shown in the pictures, all of the rubber bands are glossy and solid. No glitter or two-tone bands. The bottom row of the box are supposed to be glow in the dark bands, but they did not glow at all for me. Some of the compartments weren’t as full as the others.
The accessories I received were not the same ones pictured. For example, the pictures show 3 translucent crown charms in gold, blue, and purple. My kit has light green, purple, and red crown charms. Same thing with the charms. I only got the smiley face, the flower, the owl, and the octopus. The other 6 were different. And so on. I had to laugh at the letter beads, I got 10+ Ns.

+I've only tried a few resins so far, but this one is probably my favorite so far. It in thinner than the others I've tried making it so much easier to pour. It's got no odor like the others which gives me a headache even with a mask on, which I like. It's clear and not yellowing. It did seem to take longer to cure on my bigger items than the others but that's not a big deal to me. I've only used a uv/led light to cure, so I haven't seen the effect of leaving in derect sunlight to tell the time of that. I've made an ashtray for my boyfriend and put a light green layer, a sticker and a darker green layer and it turned out pretty good. Just a little resin got under my sticker, but that was more my fault. Maybe should have put it on top of dry resin instead of laying down and pouring it over it. So lesson learned there maybe.;) I also made some rings to check that mold out and go over a few ideas to see what would work the best and those were all fun to do. overall, this was a good buy. I did go though it pretty quickly but that's to be expected. I had a lot of fun experimenting and would probably buy this again.

+I bought this to test out the real value of various pigments and colors in this collection.

I like that the pigments I would have chosen by shopping online and checking swatches would not have been the ones that I liked on the paper when I tested them all. Every manufacturer has a little bit of a difference and how their paints flow, what kind of Sheen it has, etc. Lots of colors are very granulated and I personally don't like that texture in a finished product. So I would rather mix those from other pigments that are smooth flowing. There's also such a range of colors available from this manufacturer, and so many of them are unique, that it was just fantastic to be able to test them all and see which ones I really liked to buy individually to compliment my existing basic paint sets which have all the traditional colors.",0

+384,Arts_Crafts_and_Sewing,"Really great for watercolors!
+I own many watercolors brushes. Till now, my favorite softer brushes are Princeton Neptunes, which are synthetic squirrel. But these da Vinci Watercolor Casaneo Quill and Liner brushes are superb! They not only hold water and paint, the release it very evenly, which a lot of brushes claim to do but these actually do it.
The Quill brush is great for smooth washes - skies, water, or anything where you don't want streaks in the first wash. It also holds a point very well, so you can paint even lines for quite a while before needing to reload. THe Liner is nice, and while it's quite thin - it IS a liner, after all - it holds and releases paint very well so you can line for longer.
These are soft brushes, so be aware that you may have to use your fingers to point them after you clean them. That's true of a most or all soft brushes, whether they're natural and synthetic.
While this set is pricier than any of my other brushes, I must say they're worth it. I had one other da Vinci Casaneo brush, but it wasn't a size and shape to let me experience these brushes to their full potential. The Quill in this set is perfection - people always say their favorite brushes hold a lot of water and paint and release it evenly, but these brushes really deliver. They're an absolute delight to paint with, and alongside a couple of my favorite synthetic sable round and flat brushes (and one vintage Kolinski) which are a bit stiffer, I'm in watercolor heaven.",0

+406,Movies_and_TV,"Fantastically Beautiful, Emotional, and Inviting!
+As someone who has yearned to explore space and meet all the other civilizations on their turf, this film hit close to my heart instead of ours. When you include the incredible talent of a star-studded cast led by the infectious Charles Hunman and ad in amazing scenery, mystique, and a solid portrayal of the early 20th century, mix it with a thrilling and lovely soundtrack. The type of direction only can create such a feeling of inclusion, and it easy to forget you are not part of the storyline and the expeditions.
I never felt bored at any moment, given the entrancing nature of the directions and cinematography. However, what really gives this film and true story its guts and gusto is the tell-tale ongoing nature of most men to doubt, challenge, and accept what is new, odd, and hard to believe being so tenderly raised to the level of a higher ability to look outside yourself, and what you've always been taught to believe, and open your mind to what you must learn.
Such is the plight of man in the 21st century, as we are heavy-laden with undeniable proof that there have been highly advanced civilizations on our planet long before homo-sapiens and that we are being watched and visited by numerous other species and other civilizations from within our own Galaxy and far beyond.
This film is yet another lesson to those who refuse to grow and expand their minds and cultures and beliefs, that none of us know everything, and there is still so much more to learn about our own planet, let alone the entire Universe.
If you find your self challenged by the notion of interplanetary visitors since the dawn of time, or that this lost city, having never been proven found, is real, let me remind you that the church almost hung galileo for stating with full knowledge that the Earth was round, and not flat.
For any man to hold pre-conceived notions that they know it all or that things are impossible, I also point you to our space program and how quickly it has catapulted us further and further in our solar system and now beyond as satellites enter interspace and have sent us new and informed information about the Universe, Dark Matter, Bladkholes, and the newest possibility as of today in the news, physics outside the Standard Model we've only ever known.
Coupled with another freshly recent discovery on how to turn on and shut off electromagnetism from afar, and you might realize we are yet infants of the universe, and aren't infants always looked after by the adults? Yes, it is time to awaken our inner minds, look beyond ourselves and what we know, be like Percy and Jack Fawcett, and seek to know and experience the unknown.
It is the only way for man to keep surviving and expanding, which is the only way for eternal existence among the rest of the Universe. The Lost City of Z is inspiring and exciting if these are the things that thrill you, as well, and I highly recommend kicking back with the kids, family, or partner and enjoying the romanticism of this creation and masterpiece, to be honest!

+407,Movies_and_TV,"A very different type of yoga workout
+This video was my first experience with kundalini yoga, which I found to be different. Throughout the practice, there were only a few yoga poses which I recognized from my prior practice of hatha yoga for the past several years. This workout placed an even greater emphasis on breathing than my other yoga tapes; specifically, the ""Breath of Fire,"" a rapid form of inhaling and exhaling which is purported to result in all kinds of benefits.
The workout is broken down into four approximately 17 minute segments. Ravi Singh provides instruction but does not participate--he sits on a cushion in the corner while model Catherine Quinn performs the movements. The first segment (which is actually about 22 minutes) serves as a warmup, and it begins with simple breathing and stetching. The Breath of Fire is introduced here, but little instruction is provided on this technique. Left Nostril Breathing is also used, and the segment ends with a lying relaxation (Ravi notes that you can skip to the next section if you prefer to keep active).
In Segment 2, called ""Fight Fire with Fire,"" there is an even greater focus on the Breath of Fire, which is performed while holding various static positions--eg, lying on your back with your head and shoulders up and one leg raised. This 17 minute segment ends with practice of the Cooling Breath. The third segment, ""No Impact Aerobics,"" is very similar, and it repeats some of the exercises from the second section. Some new exercises are added, such as a modified pushup on one leg--it's fairly easy to perform, but there are many repetitions. There is more practice with the Breath of Fire, and the Serenity Breath is also introduced. This segment ends with another lying relaxation and comes in at about 15 minutes.
The final segment is titled ""Your Life is in Your Own Glands,"" and thus the exercises are specifically designed to stimulate various glands. Following these movements, there is an extended period of seated meditation as well as an extended lying reaction for a total of 16 minutes. (Brief periods of meditation and relaxation--including rolling up and down on your back to relax your spine--are also interspersed throughout the workout.)
What I liked about this workout was how the energizing bursts using the Breath of Fire were combined with periods of meditation and relaxation. However, I found it hard to believe that the practice would have the weight loss benefits which Ravi Singh repeatedly claimed; in fact, I didn't like the fact that Ravi was so focused on weight issues throughout the workout. I also found it strange--and even somewhat condescending--that he just sat in the corner providing instruction during the workout. His overall style just did not mesh very well with me, including his tendency to spout off in rhyming couplets. This workout might be better suited to those already familiar with kundalini yoga rather than newbies to the method like myself.
NOTE: There is an updated version of this workout called ""Fat Free Yoga--New & Improved"" which features Ana Brett, not Catherine Quinn; see Ravi Singh and Ana Brett's web site (raviana.com) for more details.",0

+Man, I really wanted this to not be as bad as the reviews said it was. It was that bad and worse. I’ve actually seen worse movies in the past, although not many.

Funny enough, the acting wasn’t bad. Just overall movie was just awful. Bad storyline, which is odd since the story was written like 200 years ago. Ask the director had to do was tell the original story. Instead, it was like they tried to turn it into an art house piece or something.",0

+As other's mentioned: great story line and realistic too. Many go through this very type of thing. The only issues are the lousy acting, the poor audio, and the loose ends. Not on the same level as similar genre such as "Fireproof." Can't we get some decently done Christian movies? I love the fact that the Gospel was so clearly presented too. Most movies give only a sense of the plan of salvation that is watered down. This was clear as crystal. Kudos to them for using terms like heaven, hell and getting saved. I also have no clue what the movie title has to do with the story. Literally nothing unexpected about it. Very predictable. They shoulda called it CODY, pure and simple. Or Trust, since that's the main idea. The lead character learns to let go and let God and the son gets saved. What could be a better tittle? Unexpected places just doesn't make sense. Also I want to know if the daughter in law gets saved, and Cody's coworker. I think the worst scenes were the prayer group scenes. I would not be reconciling with my mother in law in front of everyone else. It was so cold and emotionless too. Like no one, not even the females hugged or touched or stood in a (non sexual) intimate way as if they were really family who had known each other. They all came across as people who didn't really know each other and I think it really hurt the movie over all. She also needs to apologize to Cody and reconcile with him for being an over controlling, MEAN mother. Every time she sees her son she talks to him like he's a piece of crud. No wonder he screwed up. He felt unloved. He needs to have a moment where the love of God shatters past the hypocritical message of his Christian mother and shines in, healing all his past wounds.",0
+414,Movies_and_TV,"Pleasures of Life
+If you are a fan of foreign films, this is a French Classic for the patient viewer who wants to view life from a spiritual perspective. In this movie, the members of a church, seem to have chosen a very simple existence. Bread and Ale are common fare and a real French dinner seems sinful to them.
There are many scenes of singing hymns and living a simple life. The main story revolves around two women who instead of finding love and a life of their own, choose to stay with their father and help him in his ministry. Even after their father has moved on to eternity, they are consumed with charitable work and never start their own families.
One year, a lady from France is sent to find them to seek refuge from certain death in Paris. Babette suppresses her own desires and cooks what the two women want until one day she wins the lottery and asks them if she can cook dinner for what would have been their father's 100th birthday. They grant her this wish and then soon feel regret and even fear that they will be punished for experiencing such pleasure.
What happens next surprises us all. I don't want to spoil a single minute, but there
are some really funny lines near the end. This movie has a subtle charm of its own.
Oh, to have been Babette!
What fun she had making others happy.
What a beautiful spirit she portrays.
A profound statement of human kindness. This movie will leave you with a sense of peace and purpose. It will change the way you think about life.

+Karen Voight makes fitness even more accessible by combining precise movements with weights. The setting is a modern studio with tan yoga mats on a wooden floor. In thirty minutes you work your abs, legs, back and arms. You begin with Pilates inspires moves while holding weights and work your legs in a variety of interesting ways while holding on to a chair.
While there are the normal exercises like squats, Karen adapts the exercises for maximum efficiency to save you time. Weights are the focus throughout the first half of the workout with an excellent segment for arms. The short segment on the floor helps you exercise your back so you can see improved posture.
The most intense segment is definitely the abs workout, also inspired by Pilates. This very creative segment will have you feeling the burn and looking forward to the stretches that follow. Overall this workout is abs and arms intensive with a focus on sculpting the upper body and strengthening the lower body. You only need a mat, chair and set of 5 to 10-pound dumbbells to complete this workout. I used 5-pound weights and felt this was at least intermediate because of the speed of the exercises and the intensity of the abs workout.

God this was bad, as they re imagined his origin and such...I could take the time to type what his origin is but if your a comic fan you already know.
The Ra 's al ghul character was totally waisted here and looked so bad, the Talia character was the pits.

+434,Movies_and_TV,"Very Funny But Dark Wartime Comedy
+This film should be seen back to back with ""Here Comes Mr. Jordan"" (1941), as these films are amazingly similar: Alexander Hall, the director, made both films; it's a Columbia Pictures production, with the same stylized opening credits; and James Gleason plays a similar role in both films, that of a streetwise but sentimental softie who supports a beleaguered hero who's alienated from everyone because nobody believes what he sees. In ""Here Comes Mr. Jordan,"" Gleason is the skeptical sidekick to reincarnated Robert Montgomery; here, he's the skeptical sidekick to caterpillar-worshipping Cary Grant.
Both films open exactly the same way: the audience is greeted with a message that real life is tough and that here is a highly improbable ""fairy tale"" that will make them feel better about their lives. ""Real life"" of course, refers to World War II, but watching this as a semi-invalid due to the COVID pandemic, I felt I understood the poignancy of this message for the first time. The film promises to lighten up my mood, but strangely enough it doesn't - except for the premise (a fantastical tale of a caterpillar that supposedly dances), everything about the film is dark, with a shocking scene of child abuse and Cary Grant playing an unlikable, duplicitous character. Even Walt Disney comes off in this film not so much as a heartwarming showman but as a businessman who wants to exploit an opportunity.
Not that the film isn't funny - many parts are hilarious, especially in the beginning when Grant tries to convince everyone that the caterpillar really dances and deserves fame and fortune. In fact i wonder if this film was the inspiration for the famous ""Merry Melodies"" short about the dancing frog who stops dancing the minute someone other than the owner looks at him. I kept expecting the worm to act the same way, but that's not how it goes. I liked the plot twists, but much of the film, especially in the middle, drags and I nearly fell asleep. The problem is, once the film sets up the premise of a caterpillar dancing and nobody believing Grant, it repeats this dilemma over and over, until the screenwriter realized he had to create some tension between Grant and the kid, Pinky. I really hated how he managed this, for it ends up with Grant (spoilers here) wanting to steal the worm and even resorting to hurting the kid (physically as well as mentally) to do it.
Maybe I'm too influenced by today's PC-oriented culture, but I couldn't get over how everybody called Pinky's friend ""Fatso"". That made it hard to fully lose myself in the film. The ending was great but the middle was a big slog. So overall I have mixed feelings. This was a quirky film that was clearly influenced by ""Here Comes Mr. Jordan's"" success but it lacked the warmth of that film. Apparently Hall thought that another bizarre storyline would be big box office, but just having a weird premise doesn't guarantee a successful film.",0

+437,Movies_and_TV,"Don't Buy Blu-Ray Just Because of Avatar DVD Scam
+As many reviewers have noted, this three-disc collector's edition (for regular DVD players) forces you to change discs IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MOVIE. Instead of laying out the entire film on one disc, this ridiculous box set puts the first half of the movie on one disc and the second on another, for all three versions!!
You have two ways to avoid this - either buy the plain-jane original release (no extras, no frills) or the Blu-ray version. Several Blu-ray salesmen seem to be actively monitoring and commenting on a number of Amazon boards urging disappointed Avatar fans to pour all their money into Blu-ray.
So instead of paying just $25 for the collector's edition, millions of Avatar fans are now being steered to pay an additional $80 or so for a Blu-ray player, something they wouldn't have bought otherwise. These so-called ""helpful commentators"" even throw in marketing crap like, ""you know you want it"" and try to convince skeptics that they're ""missing out on the latest HD"" by not buying Blu-ray.
Give me a break. What they won't tell you is that Blu-ray is a failed format that many people, especially in this recession, see it for the gimmick that it is. Honestly, how many times have you watched a movie on a regular DVD player and sighed, ""Gee, this movie really stinks because it's not a Blu-ray?""
These greedy salesmen are no different from the military in Avatar - why settle for trees when you could mow them down and build condos? Nothing is ever good enough.
Why not take a lesson from the Avatar - live simply, in tune with Nature, and not contribute to Blu-ray landfills. Buy the no-frills version, be patient, and wait for the 3D version, which will shoot down the price of this current ""collector's edition"" scam version to a few pennies in 2011.",0
+438,Movies_and_TV,"Invigorating Winter Wakeup
+With original music by Kevin Kuhn and an instructor who presents true Pilates challenges, this workout is an advanced exercise routine with enjoyable jazzy music to fit in with the New York Penthouse location. Wood floors, mats and candles set the studio mood and if realistic dance studios appeal to you, you will feel right at home.
The two sections present a mat workout and a standing workout with an exercise band. The exercises seemed to be very true to the basic exercises I've learned over the years. Beginners would find it very difficult to keep up with the rapid pace and lack of detailed instruction. This is definitely intermediate to advanced and will be loved by anyone looking for additional strength training and balance challenges. The main exercises
include:
Hundred
Leg Circles
Abdominal Series
Swan
Neck Pull
Spine Twist
Side Kick Series
Teaser
Kneeling Side Kicks
Pilates Push-Ups
To be quite honest, I was out of breath in places. This workout might look fairly tame at first, but it is super invigorating once you get going and the main hurdle for anyone who is intermediate is to keep up with the speed of the exercises. This is a fast-paced creative dream. If you are looking for a playful yet serious workout, this might intrigue you. For serious students of Pilates who want to enhance their routine and feel like they have accomplished a dancer-style routine.
If you are feeling the winter blues approaching, this will wake you up and make you feel alive! After trying this workout, I'll definitely be reviewing the entire series. This will tighten and tone your entire body and enhance your mood.

Zoe Wanamaker narrates and sheds new light on the story of Jonah and reveals why fish were worshipped in times past. A main theme is how the sea is a tomb and a womb. While amusing, the shark god/surfboard scenes seemed out of place. Someone has a real sense of humor.

+454,Movies_and_TV,"I've Been Fockerized
+""Meet the Fockers"" is a funny film with an all- star cast of Hollywood big wigs. This movie is a sequel to the fun film ""Meet the Parents"" from many years ago. This time around, the soon to be married couple is driving to Florida with the bride-to-be's parents to meet with the groom-to-be's parents. The bride's father is a conservative stick in the mud type who dislikes anything he doesn't consider normal. The groom's parents are throwbacks to the 1960's- strong believers in free love, hugs, and unconventional living.
Barbara Striesand and Dustin Hoffman play the roles of the two liberal parents, and they offer some good, entertaining on- screen chemistry. There is plenty of contrast among the different characters, and this adds to the movies appeal. There are also a few surprises in the plot and some original humor, making the movie that much more enjoyable. And the basic premise is something most people can relate to. We all feel a little bit of anxiety when we meet our significant others' parents for the first time, and this movie uses this scenario (in an exaggerated way, of course), as its main plot.
Director Jay Roach moves this film in a few different directions to keep it from becoming a boring, standardized comedy. In the middle and near the end, he introduces a new segment to the plot involving a young teenage boy who looks very much like Ben Stiller's character. The bride's father, played by Robert DeNiro, decides that his future son in law is the actual father of this boy and he sets out to prove his point, with the ultimate goal being to eliminate Stiller and convince his daughter to marry someone else.
This movie isn't a comedy classic, but it does have its moments. Whether it's the contrast between the characters, the contributions from the baby, the comedic timing, or something else, you will probably like ""Meet the Fockers"". It isn't quite as good as the original, but it's still a fun flick to watch for its good humor and fun plot.",0

The Wicker Man is quite a unique film. The tone set on the island is morose and dark, layered beneath a seemingly happy culture of ""flower children"" dancing and making love in the fields. This is the type of movie that truly makes you think. You feel as though you are Sergeant Howie, trapped on this island where common sense seems to be sharply askew - where you are essentially on your own.
The end sequence of this movie is quite disturbing. This begins with the May Day ceremony, where the townspeople dress in costumes and proceed to the mountaintops.

Indeed, the late, great Louis Bellson narrates much of this video, with another great - Roy Haynes - providing his commentary and insights. Jack DeJohnette joins Louis and Roy on the second half of this two hour video, and adds even more to the rich tapestry of this slice of history.
What I especially like about this video is the wide coverage of early drummers, including the root of all modern players: Baby Dodds. But that was expected. I was delighted to see Tony Sbarbaro (aka Tony Spargo), Paul Barbarin and Zutty Singleton included in the discussion of early drummers. And at the end of each era discussed a listing of relevant, influential drummers from the period that there was no room to discuss in the video was provided. This ensured that viewers understood that choices has to be made when planning rhe video regarding who would and would not be included.
Another great thing about this video is you are treated to Louis Bellson's and Roy Haynes's own recollections. Both were pioneers of aspects of drummming (Louis is credited with the development and use of double bass drum kits and Roy was one of the pioneer bebop drummers who played with Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk and Dizzy Gillespie - among others!) Their commentary and personal recollections provided invaluable insights into not only the drummers under discussion, but also the period, music and other musicians.
I personally think the choices of who to spotlight in the video were wise and on the mark. There was one omission that I lamented - Stan Levey - who was a true pioneer in his own right (and who was alive when the video was made.) However, I understand the constraints of a video (this first came out on two VHS tapes), so that omission is not a fatal flaw and was later rectified when [[ASIN:B0007PP4KY Stan Levey - The Original Original]] was released.
If you enjoy this history and want to dig deeper I recommend [[ASIN:B000TTVPU6 Drummin' Men: The Heartbeat of Jazz The Swing Years]] and [[ASIN:0195176642 Drummin' Men: The Heartbeat of Jazz The Bebop Years]]. Also, Steve Smith devotes one of the two DVDs in [[ASIN:B00007CWI6 Steve Smith-Drumset Technique/History of the U.S. Beat DVD]] to a brief discussion and a longer demonstration of drum kit playing styles ranging from ragtime to modern rock. All of these sources greatly add to the tapestry of history.",0

+465,Movies_and_TV,"A nice Biblical tale but on a very low quality dvd. Collins is great -- in Essence it's a ""Spaghetti Bible Story"".
+I remember seeing this on TV many years ago. Frankly it's not a very well done version of what should be an epic Biblical tale. It reminds one of the "Spaghetti Westerns" only this is a "Spaghetti Bible story". Egan is okay as Xerxes (Ahasuerus) and Joan Collins is beautiful and does a great job as Esther. I agree with an earlier comment that says they think it's a bootlegged copy--the quality IS that bad! I had segments where you could see they were talking--but no sound. I sort of grew concerned when I noted that as the dvd started up--there were NO dire warnings by the FBI and Interpol about copying any of it... it went straight to a picture like on the cover with one word under it: "PLAY". No features, no captions, and not much quality. Okay, I still gave it two, because it's the only copy I could find of a Biblical story I enjoyed. Yes Hollywood does a LOT of its usual playing around with the facts. (Ahasuerus/Xerxes) was NOT the Persian king who fought Alexander--that was Darius III. But the "Biblical parts are basically there.You have Mordecai, and you have "The King" whose heart she stole, and you have Haman, the despicable whom you love to hate from start to finish. All in all the elements of a decent story are there, but a lot of the actors and actresses left a lot to be desired; and the quality of the picture was borderline awful.",0

+472,Movies_and_TV,"Exceeded my expectations
+Monk is one of my ""trinity of pianists"" (the other two are Teddy Wilson and Bud Powell), so when this came as part of a box set titled [[ASIN:B005MQJP9E Masters of American Music]] my expectations were not high. Was I wrong!
This is not as exhaustive as Clint Eastwood's [[ASIN:B000053VC9 Thelonious Monk - Straight No Chaser]], but on the other hand, it is more focused and gives deeper insights on Monk the man, stripping away his eccentricities and portraying him as a human who remained true to himself and his musical vision - and prevailed! Most telling is a statement made by [I believe] his son that said that he was the same person after he achieved his vision as he was before.
While Monk the person is a focus of this film, his music and his contributions are not ignored. Indeed, Randy Weston did a remarkable job of describing Monk's place in creating an entire sub genre of jazz, and how he differed from Bud Powell who was his contemporary. Orin Keepnews also provided anecdotes, and discussed the release of Monk's albums in a certain sequence to prepare the larger public for his genius. And that strategy succeeded as well.
In addition, Monk's influences were discussed at more length than I expected, providing even deeper insights into how he evolved as an artist. Indeed, the amount of information was overwhelming, even to someone who is familiar with Monk's story and music. Not in quantity, but in the perspectives, all of which are from those who knew him well and were closely associated with or played with him. And some of the tidbits, such as the description of how magical for ineffable reasons the Five Spot Cafe was, even though in reality it was a dive, added to context of not only Monk, but the NYC scene and some of the landmark places. Minton's Playhouse was even visited (and instead of it being a shrine, it is sadly now a dump.) I also valued Dr. Billy Taylor's insights and commentary.
In total, this is a remarkable video about a remarkable man. It's part tribute, part biography and very focused in the subject: Thelonious Sphere Monk. I will treasure this video and undoubtedly will watch it a few more times. I am betting that my understanding of this complex genius will improve with each subsequent viewing. Highly recommended!",0

+Yes, I can not believe that this is another great hit and like many other writers on this dvd it has become of my favourite one, to date (still waiting for the delivery of the new ones that have just come out). It is great that the dvd is broken down to four main workouts (two full 45 minutes and 2 shorter ones at under 20 minutes). I use the long work outs during the weekend, and I may mix in a shorter workout from another dvd, like the total cleanse. My body is sure worth the care. There are always the modified forms and I am still aiming to at least do the full exercise without too many rest moments. None-the-less, I am sweating plenty and I know I had a great workout ( i am in pretty good shape) so dont be fooled that you are not getting a workout. Your Are! A great dvd for both beginners and yogis.
Also, the work out is also addresses emotional issues/depression/ and with the hectic life style and demanding work place, I know I have benefited from being a lot calmer in dealing with the day to day pressures. Like many of the writers, below, I have become a kundalini/ana & ravi fan - it is the only form of yoga that I actually look forward to doing, actually find time to do, see great results in myself both physically, mentally and spiritually, and cheaper than belonging to the gym!

+487,Movies_and_TV,"All the horny details !
+This French film 2004 tells the story of a unique relationship between two women involved with the same man, one experience is through fantasy, another for reality.
Bernard (Gerard Depardieu) is married to a gynecologist Katherine (Fanny Ardant). The 25 year marriage has drifted, lacking sexual and/or intimate times. They have drifted apart and occasionally he cheats on the side. They both admit that the marriage is going sour and after all those souring years Katherine decides to find out what does turn him on, what pleasures does he enjoy.
She wanders to a gentlemen's club and meets Nathalie (Emmanuelle Beart) a strikingly beautiful prostitute. Katherine propositions Nathalie to entice and seduce her husband, and report the experience back to her. Katherine pays the prostitute. The two women often meet at the gentlemen's club and Katherine learns and lives her sexual fantasy through Nathalie's experiences which include sexually graphic language.
Much of the action takes place at the home of Katherine but also at the beautiful gentlemen's club. Depardieu's role is supporting and takes a backseat to Ardant's and Beart's major roles. The pacing is even and watching this, it keeps one wondering what the next step will be for the three characters involved.
Director Anne Fontaine's filmography includes extensive roles as an actor, writer, and director. We see Fontaine at work in a short feature piece for the Making of Nathalie.

+495,Movies_and_TV,"Rock of Ages transcends stages.
+If you've been anywhere near a television this week, you have probably been inundated with previews for the newest Broadway-show-turned-flick Rock of Ages. You were probably either convinced or put off by the lead billing of Tom Cruise as Stacee Jaxx, so let's tackle that first. Cruise portrayed Jaxx as if he were the son of Lestat from Interview with the Vampire and Guns 'n' Roses lead singer, Axl Rose with twice the libido of both.
Cruise was unconvincing as Jaxx, and I wondered if real-life wife Katie Holmes had any qualms with the number of tongues that touched her husband's body during this film. Jaxx's costumes are outlandish and silly, particularly a certain codpiece, and I couldn't tear my eyes away from his tattoos. He is a typical rock star in that he is never fully conscious, and he enjoys wrecking things that don't belong to him. Also, he tends to drink...a lot. That being said, Jaxx does not carry the entire film, as the trailers might have you believe. If you are not a fan of Cruise's, there are plenty of other characters to entertain you. If you are a fan of his, then you will probably enjoy laughing at Jaxx's expense, which is what he also seems wont to do.
Now that we've got that out of the way, if you were a fan of hair bands, Pat Benetar and arena rock, then this is the musical for you. Rock of Ages is jam-packed with '80s music, and does mash-ups and mini-montages equally well. You'll hear tunes from such bands as Bon Jovi, Guns 'n' Roses, Def Leppard, Foreigner, Journey, Poison, Whitesnake, Night Ranger, Twisted Sister and REO Speedwagon, amongst others.
Rock of Ages tells the same story we've seen in Coyote Ugly and numerous other films in which the main character is a woman from a small town who flees to a bigger town with dreams of making it big, yadda, yadda, yadda. Along the way, she meets a guy and falls in love. Cue montage of happy moments. Then, some kind of misunderstanding breaks them up and they are both lost without each other, only to reunite at the end of the film. There is nothing in this plot that we haven't seen before. But then, in a film like this, plot is just the glue that holds the music together.
The appropriately named Sherrie Christian (Julianne Hough) is a blonde bombshell from Oklahoma who looks like a groupie but acts like a good girl. She, of course, dreams of making it big in Hollywood. She gets mugged on her first night in California, and the sexier-with-longer-hair Drew (Diego Boneta) is conveniently there to witness it. He attempts to help her to no avail, but feels equally bad for and attracted to her, so he offers her a job at ""The Bourbon Room"", the nightclub where he works. She eagerly accepts as a waitress, although she dreams of being a singer.
Dennis Dupree (Alec Baldwin) runs ""The Bourbon Room"" with Lonny (Russell Brand), and their presence reminded me of Empire Records if we had checked in on Joe and Lucas in ten years. One scene in particular between Baldwin and Brand was rather humorous and harkened back to the ""Hello"" scene in Harold and Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay. When all else fails, homosexual humor tends to deliver.
What follows is a typical love story that would occur in a film of this type, or even in an '80s film (maybe that was the point?). The wholly uninteresting subplot involves Catherine Zeta Jones as the tacky antagonist Patricia Whitmore, wife to Mayor Mike Whitmore (Bryan Cranston), who has a predictable agenda against Stacee Jaxx and his ""devil music"". She gathers some of the conservative women in town and they band together to picket ""The Bourbon Room"" and Jaxx.
Paul Giamatti as Paul Gill, Stacee's manager, turned in the best performance of the film. He was the most convincing and enjoyable in a sea of cheesiness, weak acting and mediocrity. And we certainly saw enough close-ups of Malin Ackerman's (Constance Sack) clothed naughty bits to last us a while. Mary J. Blige has a throwaway part as the manager of a strip club, which could have shaved off some of the two hour and three minute runtime.
All in, the performances were weak and cheesy, the dubbing did not quite match the lip syncing and the plot was nothing to write home to your mother about. But the love story drew me in, the music was entertaining and enjoyable and I wouldn't think twice about seeing this film again. When we think back on the '80s, we often squirm at memories of big hair, loud clothes and quirky music. If Rock of Ages wasn't cheesy, it wouldn't be doing its job.",0

+530,Magazine_Subscriptions,"If you don't watch the runways..
+Let me start by saying that fashion is ageless, and Harper's Bazaar does a decent job of highlighting the notable runway pieces. That being said:
-Almost all the editorials are geared towards much older women: girls in their teens and twenties can flip through runway summaries, but countless articles on why they should botox the crap out of their face isn't really useful.
(funny--there's always some ""beauty is ageless! celebrate older women!"" articles along with the ""your lips are gone, puff them up you silly old woman! inject that Restylane! you need 4 IPL treatments!"" advice)
-About 70% of the magazine is pure advertisements. Which is fine, because most contribute to a greater aesthetic. There are, however, a lot of oddball outfits (mm I didn't know bedazzling with rhinestones was stylish, Saks Fifth Avenue!). Oh, and the ever so classy Palladium jewelry ads.
-The ""fashion"" advice is somewhat contradictory. For example, one column advised you to ""store away"" a type of shoe which was featured literally the page before, and maybe 30 other times throughout the magazine. The shoe they recommended instead, I did not see at all.
So if you take away all the anti-aging botox promotions and the ads, you're left with maybe 10 pages of runway highlights; this is of course, including the contradictory fashion advice you might not care to take. If this magazine is worth all the paper, then you'll be happy. If you thought you'd be getting more for 250 pages a month, you should look elsewhere. I didn't pay that much for this magazine, and it is fun to flip through, but I don't know if I would renew it.
(also.. I don't think it's fair to give Harper's Bazaar 1/5 stars because the vender didn't supply you--there's a separate company/delivery feedback. I purchased my subscription through amazon and it arrived in a timely fashion)",1
+531,Magazine_Subscriptions,"A review of the magazine subscription
+The magazine is great (most of the numbers) however their subscription process is the worst.
First of all, this subscription here says that you will get 12 numbers. When you order here, it took 2 months before you get the first number. But what I did not know is that these two months are calculated in the order time, so instead of having 12 numbers in the order you will get only the numbers that come when the magazine starts coming. For example, if you order in February and your order processing takes 2 months, your first number is in April... you would think that you will get your last number then the next year in March (12 numbers, right?), wrong: your order ends January because you actually ordered in February even if you did not get February and March numbers....

+576,Magazine_Subscriptions,"Reviewing Issues 1 to 30, What a Terrible Magazine.
+I am only reviewing issues from 1 to 30 of Nintendo Power. Back then, I do remember them as I subscribed to the magazine every year for a few years. Then, I lost interest because the magazine was making a transition from NES to SNES. The biggest positive feature about the magazine is how colorful the artwork (at times, became too much while the actual screenshots of the games were too little) was. The worst feature of it was the paucity of information I was getting about the games that I actually played on. Let's not forget back then that NES games were too expensive to buy, even with the lowered salaries our parents actually earned. There were too many games mentioned in Nintendo Power that it was impossible for any average kid to own many of them. Needless to say, Nintendo Power became a huge shameless marketing tool to try to persuade the kid readers to succumb to their temptations and get their parents to give in to buy the games for them. Now, after 20 years, I've finally a look at the old issues and see what I currently think of them. First off, the writers did very well in explaining the basic moves for certain games. However, they didn't reveal very much about advanced moves. Sometimes, they didn't bother showing the readers other features of the game. It was just a load of irrelevant artwork. For example, in Super Mario Bros. 2, there was no illustration of using coins to pull the lever for slot machine at the end of each stage. Looking at the first issue, they did a very good job in explaining a lot of details and including a full scale of maps of each level so you can see what comes next throughout. But, why did they stop covering any more after a certain level and never look at the final two or three stages? A great example is Issue 1 where they covered Super Mario Bros. 2 from worlds 1-1 to 2-3 and just abruptly stopped thereafter. Same thing goes for Gauntlet where there were 100 rooms to explore, but only three were covered in Nintendo Power. In Issue 10 which was among the worst, there was so little information about Batman and Double Dragon 2 that the coverages became a joke. They didn't even try to explain what happens during a fight with Bosses. And there was nothing about the late stages of the games. Come on, that's all they got? Contra got absolutely weak coverage too despite its popularity. There is a lot of times that this happens, and it makes me to think that the writers actually never got that far or have not beaten these games. Moreover, the writers have exaggerated a lot about the features of the games (many of them were in fact terrible) which supports the notion that there was a clear bias involved. Looking at Nintendo advertisement where you use the Powerline to the Pros by calling them and then noticing in the table of contents where it says, ""Our pros can get you out of any video jam."" why establish the phone line already when it should be published in the magazine? Is that the magazine's goal to help you out on that because you paid for the subscription to it? Bah...they want to make more money off from the readers. On page 54 of Issue 1, what a weak advice about how to beat Mike Tyson. They can do better than that. Reading a lot of the advices elsewhere, Nintendo Power seems to be more interested in giving out cheat codes rather than instructing the readers in how to beat a game the pure way. Why was there information about movies, music, and celebrities who happen to play Nintendo? The magazine was supposed to be about the games of NINTENDO! What a waste of space. Then, there is a silly page of NES ACHIEVERS where players were recognized for their highest scores per game (um...Game Genie, yes? Of course, it came out in early 1990, making cheating very plausible; plus Nintendo Power never endorsed it due to supposed copyright infringement). Really, beating the game was, and still is today, always the ultimate goal, and nobody cared about points. Even a worse embarrassment was the recognition of achievements by ""Power Players."" Time to get out of the house and smell the roses. What's with this Nester and the smug Howard Phillips? Get rid of them already! Why do they show crappy made up stories too? Can we stick with strategies of NES games? Every time I pick up an issue, it's always Zelda, Super Mario 2, Zelda, Metroid, Zelda, Super Mario 3, MegaMan, Super Mario 2, Super Mario 3, Zelda, Super Mario 3, etc. These games got the most coverage of any. Most unfair of them all, there was a 85 page issue (number 13) that was entirely devoted to Super Mario 3. Some of the other games received so little of coverage, and the rest had none (I was really surprised about the lack of coverage for The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants) at all. You were out of luck if you were playing any of them because you were trying to figure out how to get past a certain point. Most likely, whichever the company paid the magazine the most got the most coverage. I still can't get over the sight of the dork in white jersey titled Nintendo Power every time I see him and his goofy hair. Damn, issue 5, pg. 19. features what may be the worst accessory of all time in NES history...the Power Glove (That commercial was very convincing. By the way, what happened to the review of the Super Glove Ball game in Nintendo Power?). Let us not forget the wonderful toy called U-Force. They really made it sound so good. The shameless promotion of crappy NES accessories was embarrassing; it would have been nicer if they could have admitted the truth that these accessories were in fact unworkable. However and interestingly, both of the accessories including some others were never mentioned again in future issues (sort of got swept under the rug quietly). Elsewhere, the PowerMeter was the most biased and worthless feature of the magazine because all of the games were thought of so highly and possessed no negative marks, but we all know after getting them, we recognized how truly crappy these games were. Some of the advices the ""counselors"" (what a ridiculous title) gave for certain games have been questionable at best, and there are certainly far easier solutions than them. One of the ""counselors"" claimed to have beaten Contra with one life left by using a Power Glove (either it is true or that guy needed a life). Looking at the work done for Mission: Impossible, I am 100% certain that nobody at Nintendo Power had ever beaten the game because they did a rubbish layout of the stages without going much into details. The whole coverage was entirely devoid of any strategy. For the game, I had already written a good review of it that included way, way more helpful tips in trying to beat it than they could do in those wasted pages. Looking at the letters of Mailbox, at least half of them had kids crying and begging to become a ""counselor"" while majority of them was bragging about their NES achievements. Hmm...so tell me...how many hours a day did these kids waste playing NES games (believe me, they take a very, very long time to master), and how much of that should have been put into homework from school? I love the endless pumping by the writers of the magazine, making sure people were directed to buy whatever the writers were pushing such as call line, cleaning products, technical repair, strategy guides, SNES, Game Boy, etc. Gosh, that Nester character was so annoying that he needed to be entirely cut out of the magazine. The comics were so boring, and they became page wasters. In the later issues, the layout of maps had improved considerably, and that alone will make Nintendo Power worth looking at. However, it was still limited to certain games. Rarely ever the writers will choose the most challenging NES games for greater coverage probably because their ""counselors"" probably couldn't advance further in the levels, let alone beating them. Hence, lots of cheat codes were provided in every issue. The biggest mistake of the magazine was the combination of NES and Game Boy, and then eventually SNES, coverages into one magazine. The result? Less and less exposure, then eventually extinction, for NES games which is a shame since we all know that the NES console is arguably the greatest console ever in Video Game history. Now I think of it: that was probably the biggest reason why I stopped bothering with Nintendo Power. The simple solution? They should have had separate magazines for each console. Thus, a lot of games could have been given more exposure, say 15 to 20 NES games per issue with 5 to 10 pages per. Also, get rid of the irrelevant art work and boring details about something else that are totally unrelated with NES games. Stick with the maps, strategies, and walkthroughs. Then, the writers would have been sitting on a goldmine. They never bothered with NES games made before Nintendo Power first came out which is another shame. All in all, Nintendo Power is truly a joke of a magazine, and we've discovered how thoroughly excellent gamefaqs and youtube of the games are today.",1

+596,Magazine_Subscriptions,"Best Crossword-Puzzle Magazine
+This is my favorite crossword-puzzle magazine because each issue offers 90 Easy, Medium, Hard, and Challenger puzzles. Lots of folks want only Easy puzzles, but what's the point of that? I want puzzles of differing levels of difficulty. I particularly like theme puzzles. For example, puzzles with clues answered by various book titles. This magazine does not offer lots of puzzles with that theme, but the few it does offer are excellent. As to overall level of difficulty, I would say that most of the puzzles fall into the Easy to Medium hard category. I also like the size of the magazine--5 and 3/4 inches wide by 9 inches tall. This is perfect for working puzzles in bed before going to sleep--the primary way I use the magazine. The front and back magazine covers are soft and flexible, which also facilitates solving puzzles while sitting up in bed. Working puzzles before sleeping helps to take my mind off the day's many problems. And, finally, I hope that solving puzzles will keep my mind healthy, active, and strong during my long creep into senility.",1

The first time I tried to purchase something, I caught this, and unchecked it, but then I forgot something so I backed out before finishing, went back and did more shopping, added something else to my cart, and then checked out. This second time checking out, I thought the gift card balance was unchecked, but I honestly didn't pay much attention since I had already gone through those steps (and all I did was add another product to my cart), so this second time I went much more quickly.

+I've been on a mission to try out as many nutrition bars as I can find, looking for a combination of good health, good taste, and reasonable cost. After trying virtually all the flavors of a couple dozen different brands, these came in second to [[ASIN:B00D3J9L3W Lola Granola Bar, The Enzo, 0.035 Ounce (Pack of 12)]]. The Kit bars are a bit more expensive with no Subscribe and Save option but are healthy, tasty and not too sweet.
We also like Larabars and Kind bars but find both too sweet.
ThinkThin Crunch have more sodium and less sugar and are so-so in taste.
Kashi Bars are the cheapest at $.50 apiece and the Almond Flax version are the least sweet.

+I thought these were going to be much stronger and somehow different from paper towels but they are ALMOST like paper towels - just slightly stronger. This is basically paper towels you can hand wash once or twice and won’t immediately disintegrate. I was able to rip these, but once it was wet it was a little bit harder to tear (but still tore when I tried to). These are slightly less thicker than a paper towel. I believe these were meant to be used and hand washed 2-3 times and it should be able to withstand that if you are not deliberately trying to tear it apart. The concept of these is to use it like a dish/cleaning rag but one that is to be washed after use, air dried, re-used, and thrown away after a few uses - unlike using a traditional cloth rag where it gets stinky then you throw it in the laundry. These have cute prints on them but the rolls are smaller than most paper towels.

+These were recommended to me as a natural way to clean my house, but I was skeptical. If you're reading this-- please don't be! They are so amazing!

2) The All-purpose cloth: Very versatile. I have used it on the stainless steel (decent), granite (awesome), marble (awesome) and bathroom surfaces (very good).
3) The window cloth: seriously amazing. The results were similar to windex-- clean and no streaking! Whhaaattt?!
I would definitely recommend these products for not only their environmental impact but also because of the results. Simply amazing.
E-Cloth: If you are wondering if E-cloth is similar, the answer is yes. However, their duster fails to impress (it doesn't collect dust as much as spread it) compared to the Norwex dust mitt. Other wise, the window and all purpose cloth are comparable.",1
+742,Health_and_Personal_Care,"Water Flosser for Travel or Home Use!
+Price is very comparable to other one-use-at-a-time-type water flossers. The thing I like most about this handheld is the ability to clean the water reservoir. I have another water flosser and is it is an all-in-one design and there really is no way to clean the water reservoir and I find that gross. This one comes right off for easy cleaning and seems a whole lot more hygienic to me.
It is a bit bulkier then the other hand held that I have, and what I mean by handheld is all in one device, no reservoir sitting on your sink. It is bigger around but I like the fact that the wand on top folds down because when I travel with my other handheld water flosser I always feared breaking off the tip during travel.
I have used this water flosser 13 times and it is just starting to act like it should be charged. It's a bit sluggish and sputters now and then so I will probably charge it after the 14th or 15th time. It has two speeds, the gentler for beginners, and the high for experienced water flosser users. You can really hurt your gums if they aren't used to this type of cleaning.
The water reservoir has a max fill line on it, but the fill line is marked too high. If you actually put that much water in it and then try to attach it to the device, water will spurt out of the top of the reservoir and maybe even shoot out of the tip. So just be cautious about that and don't say I did not warn you! This is a quick fix so I hope the manufacturer will adjust the water line max mark.
I added several pictures so you can see what the product looks like right out of the package. It came in gift box packaging which I think is pretty cool when it's something available on Amazon. If you buy it for somebody else it's like it's already gift-wrapped and you don't have to pay Amazon to do it! Score!

I bought two of these. Loved the look, and the ease of use. I bought them early, and didn't need for a few months, but did test them. I took them to the first gig, and they worked. I only used them for two bursts, no longer than 15sec each... Then nothing from one of them. No more blowing. the LED lights still worked great and showed that i still had connectivity, but the blowers died.
After the next try the second one also died. I know what you may be thinking, maybe it was bad power, or a surge. the power was fully tested and good. the internal fuse was still in good shape and working fine.
I contacted customer support, and they told me to send a video of the issue, and they would help. So i did that... NO RESPONSE. I emailed again and they totally ignored it. Unfortunately Amazon says that they can't do anything. So much for the A-Z guarantee haha.

+The antioxidant-rich solution contained in these squeeze pouches is packaged and produced in Canada. The directions say it should be stored in a dry, dark place at room temperature, and the flavor tastes like tart grape juice. 🍇 The ingredients do list the presence of a couple of preservative compounds, but I like that there are no artificial flavors or added sugars, and the box comes stamped with a clearly marked expiration date.
There are only 10 calories present per serving, but the recommended usage schedule advises consumers to take one sachet twice daily. At $20 per box, it would cost customers $120 a month to consume this resveratrol supplement regularly (because 10 pouches would disappear every 5 days). Since the overall price and perceived value of any item is subjective, the purchase likelihood will vary from person to person, but the potential payoff is exponentially beneficial.
If this super fruit solution can combat free radical damage enough to slow or reverse aging, then I’m in! Since it does also contain goji, blueberry, pomegranate, cranberry, açaí, and green tea extracts, I at least feel like I’m consuming a myriad of healthy juices in the process!

+First had this recommended to me in 1984, when I had a persistent upper-bronchitis infection for 2 months.
(I used to get these, Spring and Fall, every year, since having ""walking pneumonia"", in 1975.)
Coupled 1 capsule, twice a day, with 1000 mg Vit C & echinacea (alcohol tincture) - kicked it in 4 days!!!
Haven't had that problem, Spring or Fall, ever since then, either. ALWAYS use Ambrotose for a cold.
Even used it to fight an abscessed tooth (twice now) - took a couple of weeks, but it fixed the problem.
(Really important, when you can't pay for health or dental insurance!! I don't see the doctor much, either.)
This stuff is safe - it's just FOOD.
It's the VINE-RIPENED sugars from 8 different fruits & vegetables, PERIOD. (Those sugars are the reason that VINE-RIPENED fruits and vegetables taste sweeter than what you get at the store - ask someone who grows their own garden, or tomatoes.) Doesn't taste like sugar, though - more like SLIGHTLY scalded peanut brittle.
(Yeah, I know - weird, but true.)
Those sugars (chemicals) allow the immune system to talk to each cell in your body - which they CAN'T w/o these chemicals (which you don't get anywhere else in your diet.) Ever wonder why people didn't get caner so often during 50's & 60's? - partly because they ate food they grew for themselves, and it was ripe before they ate it.

+791,Health_and_Personal_Care,"I like it although you taste the ascorbic acid
+I like the flavor of this. To be honest I usually use one packet in a 50 ounce water container that I keep chilled in the fridge. It comes out lightly flavored that way and then I just pour as I go. Although when I first had it I added the pouch, as instructed, to less water - 12 ounces, I believe. That way it packs too much flavor to me. It isn't bad at all that way - nice and orangey - pretty ascorbic acidy - but I still liked it. But generally I like water-type drinks with less flavor. So I usually mix it in a 24 ounce water bottle or the larger bottle in the fridge - just depends what mood I am in.
Like I said you definitely taste the ascorbic acid - some people may know what I am talking about. Personally I like that flavor. It reminds me sort of like a Gatorade in that regard - so that makes me feel even more hydrated (mentally, I suppose). : )
I have never played Pickleball and am surprised that a bunch of drink products are geared towards fans of the game - but good for them.

+792,Health_and_Personal_Care,"Excellent strain diversity but very low potency; potential option for children/elderly
+These probiotics hit the mark when it comes to strain diversity, with each capsule providing 14 different strains. The strains are identified on the bottle label, but the specific concentration of each one is not. However, the mark of a good probiotic is both diverse strains plus a good potency. This falls quite short on the potency side, with each capsule providing only 3 billion CFUs. I find a minimum of 20 billion is what I need for good results (digestive and elimination benefits). As such, these don't hit the mark.
However, for those who have difficulty tolerating high potency levels, such as younger children and the elderly, this is a decent option. The price is excellent for a 60 capsule bottle. While child-focused probiotics are usually chewable, these capsules should be small enough for most to swallow.
As an general adult probiotic I'd give these 2 stars, but as a low-potency child/elderly/sensitive stomach probiotic, it's a 4 star option for the price. I'll average the two and give it 3 stars.",1

+It works well and lasts. I have purchased maybe 10 tubes of this over the last few years and have recommended it to 2 other people who use it regularly. When you think the tube us empty, don't through it away, here is what I do. Cut the seam off at the bottom and using a long spoon, scoop the contents into a container such as a small jar or pill container. You will be surprised at how much is left in the ""empty tube"".

I have piled up computers and monitors on it and used it to go up and down stairs with no issues. It is a little on the heavy side because of this (13lb) so keep that in mind.

+These interface pads in general are great for finish sanding, especially of curved surfaces.
Easier on both the hands and the sandpaper.
These particular pads seem to be pretty good quality, with good hook & loop fasteners on both the hook and loop sides.
The foam is comparable to similar pads from other manufacturers, not quite as dense as 3M pads.
And if they're like the rest, they won't last as long as 3M pads, none of the knock-offs do.
But that doesn't mean they aren't a good value, particularly if you're going to abuse them anyway, as we do.
The most common failure is separation of the foam and the hook/loop layer.
Don't just yank the paper off the pad, or the pad off the sander, get your fingers in the gap and peel them apart to minimize strain on the foam.
Also use them primarily for fine grits and let the sander do the work. Bear down on one of these with coarse paper and it will heat up and crumble in short order.",1

It takes about 24 hours to fully set (or as much as 48 hours if the air is humid). Once set it will last for years before needing replacement. Of course, a good bond requires completely cleaning out the joint before caulking. No caulk can stick well to a surface that is not properly prepared.",1

This is no longer an issue as I have used these glass beads in the bottles. Most folks use the metal pellets for this, but metals are not compatible with all of the solvents I use. Glass is perfect as I have no worries that it will contaminate or cause an undesirable chemical compatibility issue for me. I am recommending this to other artists and hobbyist I know.

It is a shopping basket that rolls and has a telescoping handle which is what I liked about this. I'm a tall person 5"11" and I can easily reach the handle, tilt the cart and roll it away. I used it this morning when I went grocery shopping and easily carried 3 bags worth of groceries in it from the parking lot into my apt. building.",1

(Picture descriptions in Part 3- Use)
## Why Ender 3:
Before purchasing I watched a bunch of videos from various people and even though they consistently said ""I like X printer over the Ender 3"" most of them would also qualify their opinion with ""I've owned 2-3 Ender 3's"". Frankly, if you've bought a product that cost a Couple Hundred Bucks *MULTIPLE* times, then I can only take that as an endorsement.
I also looked at many samples from Ender 3 that made me confident that the quality would be acceptable.
Furthermore, it's pretty clear that Ender 3 is easily mod-able and is well supported within the community, so it seemed like the easiest machine to troublehshoot/fix/improve if I needed to (and I assumed I would need to)
## Assembly:
I have some degree of mechanical intuition (nothing I would boast about, but I can get around alright), so even though the instructions only had pictures, I was able to get through about 80% of the assembly easily.
The X gantry (the crossbeam assembly with the hotend, in case I'm using the wrong part name since, again, no text in the assembly instructions) was a bit ambiguous based on the pictures so I had to pull up a video tutorial to assemble that.
The wiring instructions were also a jumbled mess that I had to stare at for about 10 minutes before finally realizing what went wear (even then I initially plugged the ""x"" stepper cable into the ""z"" stepper and only realized my mistake when I couldn't find a place to plug the x limit switch's cable).
## Use (with pictures)
I spent about 15 leveling the bed using the ubiquitous ""Paper Method"" that I had seen on several Youtube videos (put a paper between the nozzle and the bed and then adjust until the paper has decent pressure but can still be moved).
Picture 1 is the Bed Leveling test print I used at that point, which told me I needed to spend another 20 minutes leveling the bed again.
After that I started to print the Test Dog Creality provides. While it was printing, I found out via Google that a) it was going to take longer than I wanted to wait, and b) the filament Creality provides isn't even enough to print the Dog (which seems really shortsighted to me, since most beginner users like myself would assume that you would be able to print at least one of the test pieces with the provided filament).
During those two initial prints I had heard this ""Pacman"" type noise (similar in tone to when you pick up the power dot). Since it sounded like your typical piezo/computer board speakers, I found a cover for the one on the Ender 3's PCB and printed it out.
As you can see (top of Picture 2) it came out pretty badly warped. It was late so I continued printing to use up the rest of the filament, but the following morning I did some research and found it was probably because my X Belt was a hair loose; felt tight to me, but I gave it a good tug to make it as tight as I was willing (I didn't want to break anything after all) and I haven't had any problems since
I had also already downloaded a whole list of interesting things to print so I picked out the Wire clips to use up the rest of the filament (Picture 2- bottom). I didn't notice the warping as much on those ones, but the walls clearly had gaps in them. I wasn't able to find an explanation for that one on the internet, but haven't had that problem since I tightened the X Belt, so I assume that's all it was.
The following day after work I pulled out the last of the starter filament and put on the roll I had bought with the Printer and printed my first Benchy (Pictures 3 and 4). While there are some clear defects in it I'm actually extremely happy that it turned out as well as it did (I'm a bit of a pessimist).
Based on the Benchy, I re-leveled the bed again and have since been printing upgrades to my Ender 3 which have all been turning out extremely nice: I had 1 burr on a 1 screw hole and some very, very light stringing on one of the 10 pieces I've printed so far.
## Final Note of Significance
Don't under estimate how long it takes to make a 3D print. Going into this I was of the opinion of ""Well, **I'm** not doing any of the work, so it doesn't matter how long it takes"", but there are two hang ups that I didn't really factor in.
First, when you're excited to have something Printed you're inevitably more impatient to have it done. I'm a pretty patient person, but even for me I end up sitting at my desk glancing every 15 minutes to see how much longer it's going to be before I move onto the next piece.
Second, smaller pieces may take significantly longer, depending on their shape and quantity. As an example, I'm currently printing the recommended Cable Chains for the Ender 3. After this review is done I'll take the mounting clips off the bed and then print the *Bottoms* of the Chain Links. Just looking at the Chain Links, they seem like they should be pretty small and that they should get done relatively fast.
THEY WILL TAKE 11 STRAIGHT HOURS!
There are 3 primary reasons for this: I need 25 of them; they have long, vertical extrusions; and they are thin. Because those extrusions are vertical, they get sliced into many layers instead of just a couple (if they were horizontally oriented). Because they are thin, the printer can't take a shortcut by just using an infill mesh on the inside. Finally, because it takes extra long because of those other two points, the quantity because a serious factor as well.
And that's just the *Bottom* of the clips: I'll have to print the Top of them after that...
## Bottom Line
Despite that last point, I still love this printer and look forward to continuing to use it for a long time in the future.",1

+I received a free pair of these tights directly from Zensah for testing and review. After trying the Zensah compression socks a month ago and really being surprised by how good they actually are, I agreed to try these tights as well. I was slightly horrified by the price at first glance to tell the truth - I was expecting something similar to stretchy yoga pants with a little spandex thrown it. These are an entirely different creature.
First off - I received the Aqua in large. I'm a size 8, but thought large was a safe bet since I intend to use these outside in high humidity (90% humidity on average) and high temperatures (90s) - sweaty and hot in tights means hard to get off later. Well....it used to until Zensah came along. These are a mix of elastane, polyamide, and polypropylene with no cotton or spandex. These are actually very soft to the touch and smooth. For me, at least, this means they slipped off easily after I was all hot and sweaty and never stuck to my legs. Excellent.
The fit is definitely form hugging and while the large isn't too small or too big, it leaves nothing to the imagination. These aren't immodest, just be prepared to show every curve. The waist band is wide and I haven't experienced any rolling down - the little pocket is in the back and it's tiny, you can fit a key card in it, but an actual key will rub you.
Here's the reason why I am loving these tights. The seamless description is accurate and the cooling fabric on the thighs does just that - cools. I have spent serious amounts of cash over the years buying schooling tights for summer riding - regular riding pants can be too hot when you're doing two or three horses a day. The cheap ones or padded ones tend have seams in the lower calf area or they just stick to you. Today I wore these with my riding boots and worked horses on the ground (broken rib means no riding this week). These Zensah tights didn't rub inside my boots and they didn't stick to my calves, nor did the ankles try to ride up as I moved at different speeds and angles or changed directions suddenly. My backside was cool and the compression factor meant that my shins weren't quite as tired afterwards. (Photos coming after wearing in the heat) I'm going to grab these first when the doctor gives me the all clear to get back in the saddle.",1

I don't like to carry a purse, so I usually use one of those small ""security"" pouches that slip under my shirt. They work OK, but the small size limits the amount of stuff I can carry.
This passport holder is larger by a significant amount. It's still flat enough to tuck under my shirt (unless I stuff it with a bunch of stuff) and holds all the necessities I need to enjoy a day off the ship.
It's well organized -- there's a nice variety of pockets sized to hold just about anything you'd want to take along for a day onshore. I would call it ""water resistant"" rather than water*proof* -- in other words, I don't think the contents would be safe if this were submerged underwater, but if you're caught in a rain shower, it should be fine.

+Over the past year or so since trying these compression socks (and other brands), I keep coming back to this brand, Cambivo. The socks fit well without being too snug. They come to my knee and don't cut into my skin. The 20-30 mmHg compression feels spot on. I have had some where the socks feel no different than dress socks, with them clearly not compressing in a therapeutic manner. These do. I have venous insufficiency- which is improper function of leg veins. Swelling/edema is part of that as well as big varicose veins. I could have surgery, but at the time was not covered by insurance. I got used to using compression socks well before being diagnosed and continue to do so. Some days are better than others, and some days the socks really dont help in terms of how my legs look- but they do make them feel good, and often times the swelling is greatly reduced or diminished with use of compression socks (20-30, or 30-40 when I can find them). I like that these look like regular socks. If you have ever used the thick beige or white medical looking compression , you will understand it is a treat to find effective nice looking med/high compression socks. Low compression (10-15mmg are everywhere, and are really just best for a little additional energy). I have several pair because I wear them almost every day and don't want to have to keep rewashing same pair. If you are new to compression socks, pleased be advised that they are best maintained when hand washed in cool water (or a cold water wash cycle with gentle cleaner), and allowed to air dry. Heat breaks down the sock function. Sometimes mine end up in the dryer with other clothes on medium heat. I really do try to avoid that. Anyway, these have been working out great for me, and I buy a set whenever I have the extra money to do so. Thanks Cambivo!",1

There are splits at each side of the shirt near the hem. There is a slight bit of pulling between the buttons across the bust if you're a larger cup size. It can easily be fixed with a safety pin. The sleeve length is generous enough for someone with long arms. The color in my picture is about 93% accurate. I found the fit to be true to size. Overall, it's a very versatile shirt that deserves a place in your wardrobe.
For fit reference, I'm 5'6"", 153lbs and a 34G bra size. I'm wearing the medium.

+941,Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry,"Great Lightweight Hoodie
+This is a nice lightweight hoodie that feels just a little thicker than a standard T-shirt. The fabric is soft and almost slippery to the touch for a very comfortable fit. The shirt has similar properties to a tech shirt, and would be a great choice for exercise. There is a drawstring that goes around the hood.
This is a nice item for a cool summer evening or when you just want to get out of the sun. It's great for hanging out at the beach because it provides skin protection without making you uncomfortably hot. The shirt packs down to a small size and is a good choice to stuff in your travel bag.",1
+942,Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry,"Works with Curves
+I absolutely LOVE this top. The color blocking on the stripes creates a corset/bustier illusion if you're a curvy girl. It's VERY flattering! The fabric has just the right amount of stretch, so it conforms to your shape as if it were made for you. Of course the fabric is high quality and the garment is well made. The length hits at high hip. This top goes great with jeans, but it's also great with skirts. You'll get enough wears out of it to more than justify the cost. What are you waiting for? Just buy it.

+These leggings fit like compression leggings, not like you're one size regular wear leggings. They don't have much stretch, so they feel on the small side.

The hip and booty area is wide but the waist is small. So, if that is the way you are built, they'll be perfect. I am not.

+984,Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry,"Very soft, stylish leather wallet for men (or a woman, in this case)
+I really love everything about this leather wallet. It is roomy. It has a flip out ID window with three credit card slots behind that and another slot behind those slots. To the right is another set of three credit card slots with another one behind that. Then there's a billfold behind the slots and a top piece to the wallet that has an additional four credit card slots. In total, there there are 13 slots and 1 billfold. It is also a nice slate bluish grey color. In addition, it has RFID protection that provides unwanted prying from RFID Scanners but I have no way of verifying that.
Overall, I feel this leather wallet is a good purchase for someone looking for more than a minimal design with some style to it. It is made for a man but there is no reason it cannot be used by a woman. Currently there is no price listed, so I suggest one does some comparison shopping to ensure it is competitively priced for the style.
NOTE that I also got the [[ASIN:B07QD2W6CY blue wallet]] that they call ""classic navy."" It is the exact same wallet in a different color; however, it is NOT true to color as shown on the Amazon site. It looks more like a dark grey or a smoke bluish grey.",1

+These shorts are not worth the $13.99 I paid for them. They are worth more like half of that price. They fit more like shorts to wear under dresses or skirts. The overall fit was too large, which made the waistband too high and the bottom of the shorts end at the top of my knee. I am only 5'2" (wear a size 8), so I expected some differences in the fit from the picture. But the actual fit was awful. The shorts did not have any tightness or compression to them and the waistband rolled down just from walking a couple of feet, so I would definitely not use them as "performance" shorts for running. The logo also started peeling off the shorts from just trying them on. If you are looking for running shorts without any compression to wear under other shorts or pants, these shorts might work. But if you are looking for a pair of running shorts that are less than compression but more than undergarment shorts, I would not recommend these shorts.",1

It is pretty enough, and definitely warm despite being thin. I can feel the heat being trapped. It feels neat. However, I like it as a cozy outfit add on, rather than a 'get bundled up to brave the temps type scarf'. we keep our house cool, so I often add a scarf & hat rather than a sweater. This is warm enough to make me feel good, but not so heavy that I feel constrained. Also, it kind of sticks together rather than flows. Strangely this isn't necessarily bad either.

There's a zipper and a hook closure. The leg is very wide. The top of the thigh was a bit snug, but I have disproportionately large thighs. I usually wear a size 10.

+I used this tape on a recent painting job and it worked better than the ""bargain"" painter tape I also used. This tape released very well compared to the generic tape I was using ($3/roll.) I also had a reviewer roll of Intertape Polymer Group 1-1/2 Inch x 60-Yard Blue Masking Tape, which also carries a premium price tag, and I guess the $64,000 question is whether either of these performed $5-$6 a roll better than the $3 rolls I also used.
The answer, probably not.
Both of the premium brands seemed to hold back paint from bleeding onto my trim, but no really noticeably better than my cheap tape. Where it did exel is when it was time to remove the tape. This tape removed far better than the cheaper tape when often tore and I needed to scratch it back off the surface. However, we are talking an extra few minutes on clean up for the room I painted.
Pros
+ Released Well
+ No bleeding seen onto my trim but not noticeably different from generic tapes

These hooks come exactly as described. The quality is very good. The welds seem to be good and the orange covering is thick enough to take a bit of a beating if you are not too rough. The holes are well placed in the plates that you use to put in the wall.
SCREWS
The screws that come with this- there are two kinds. The first kind is the drywall white piece that you drill a hole in the wall and then put the metal screw into it while inside the drywall. The second type is the black plastic screw which has a Phillips head on it and very large spiral on it. The second type of screw seems to be the stronger of the two. They both are useful in drywall.
HOW DO THESE INSTALL?
These hooks installed very easily. They are quite sturdy and fit our needs well. We have a ladder and a machine on it which has legs that fit perfectly on the hooks and it rests against the wall off the floor.
ANY PROBLEMS?
We did not have any problems with these yet. I know that we will eventually use all of these hooks for ladders, and other equipment as we continue to set up our storage area. For now, they are just what we needed.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Sturdy hooks, well made, and easy to install, they are sturdy and have been handy so far to hang larger items up off the floor.
MY RATING
FIVE STARS. These are just what we needed. So far, they are working out well.",2

+1015,Tools_and_Home_Improvement,"Good Dremel style tool, lacks instructions
+This is a great rotary tool similar to a Dremel. I've borrowed my friend's Dremel brand rotary tool before to cut some plastic wedges off something to fit in my car, so I was excited to get my own to try. The thing is, I've used them before, but I've never set one up from scratch, and this came with no instructions beyond some safety and care info. I had to google how to properly set it up and watch some youtube videos just to properly mount the cutting tool. There are a LOT of different parts and tools included with this set, some of which I still need to learn how to use / what they are for, some basic instructions or a quick start guide would have been useful.
Otherwise, it works pretty great once you know what you're doing. It is pretty powerful at a claimed 350W motor, has a hard on/off switch and variable speed like the Dremel tool too. All in all, I think this is very decent cost effective alternative to the pricey name brand rotary tools. But make sure you already know how to use one because otherwise you're on your own to figure it out.",2
+1016,Tools_and_Home_Improvement,"sturdy bottles, hard to clean
+These bottles are very tall, which we like. My husband uses these at the ball park when he's coaching, and one bottle (kept in the Aquakoozy http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=aquasana+koozy) will last him through an entire game. This saves me from running to the concession stand every 5 minutes. :-)
The downside to these is that the mouth is narrower than they appear in the picture and while the Oxo bottle brush (http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-Bottle-Brush/dp/B00004OCLJ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334881432&sr=8-1) is length-wise long enough to reach the bottom if you hold it up against the bottle, the ""ergo"" large grip handle won't fit in the opening of the bottle and therefore it stops about an inch from the bottom of the bottle. We have decided to only put water in these bottles so that nothing sticky ends up hopelessly uncleanable in the bottom.
If the opening were even 1/4 inch wider, these bottles would be perfect, thus the 4 star rating.
UPDATE: We freaking love these bottles. I kept the divided cardboard box they were shipped in, and I store them in the fridge, full of water, in the cardboard box turned on its side with the lids facing forward. This makes it easy to grab one, put it in an Aquakoozy on the way out the door, and go. They are very sturdy bottles, we have not been that gentle with them and they have held up during an entire season of teenager baseball, ball parks, practices, etc.
One thing I will mention is if you don't screw the lid on tight enough, they will leak. If you screw it on too tight, the lid is difficult to remove due to the lack of texture on the lids. However, this is true for pretty much anything with a lid. ;)",2

Apparently the sleeves are knit from yarn that contains some amount of Kevlar. I’m no expert on Kevlar, or on its bullet-stopping capabilities, but I’m unimpressed with the Kevlar in these sleeves. I found it fairly easy to cut the DOUBLED double layered fabric with ordinary scissors.
The sleeve fabric is tightly knit, and the sleeves themselves consist of two layers of tightly knit fabric. These two factors alone will provide some protection or “resistance” to cuts. The sleeves won’t provide protection from punctures--they are, after all, knitted sleeves.

So facing tube replacement and/or fixture replacement. So I purchased 8 more of these. I replaced the existing and added 2 more. Total wattage is now 320. But the real benefit was the integral switches. I now use typically 120 watts since I don't need lighting everywhere all the time.

+1034,Tools_and_Home_Improvement,"Great Light Really Works- Can Tip Easily If Not Careful
+I have some plants I wanted to save over the winter. The window light is not bright enough. I needed lights I could put in pots or next to my plants. This one was for my primrose/african violet type plant.
EASY TO PUT TOGETHER?
This is easy to put together. The light is on a hinge and the stem extends. There is a point on it.
DOES IT STAY UPRIGHT?
I have to say that this light was a challenge to get it not to tip. The dirt is pretty deep, but it kept tilting. I finally staked it between two chop sticks I had and it stays up better.
HOW DOES TIMER WORK?
You have to be sure to set the timer at the exact time you want the light to go on daily. Once you do, it repeatedly turns on at that time. Then it turns off at the time you set it at.
DOES IT WORK?
This works great. My poor plant got left out in the frost and most of the leaves were ruined. The flowers were not doing well and I thought we lost it. I trimmed off all of the dead and damaged tissue and not much was left of my beautiful plant.
After a few weeks in this light, my plant is coming back strong and green again. I am very happy with it.
THE BOTTOM LINE
This light needed some inventiveness to keep it upright, but when I got it to stay, it has revived our poor plant that I thought we were going to lose.
MY RATING
FOUR STARS. I wish the post stayed upright more easily than it does, but I still am very thankful for the light.

+1060,Tools_and_Home_Improvement,"AWESOME STURDY OUTDOOR LIGHTING
+I switched to utilizing this type of strand lighting last year and absolutely love it! I have it swagging between my house to a pergola on our lower deck, around and through that, then up to our upper deck where it swags through my grape arbor.
I have several strands of these lights hung together and they all work together magnificently.
The cable is very well constructed and made to hold up to outdoor conditions. The thick rubber insulation protects the inner wires and will keep these lights working hassle free for many years.
The Edison Style bulbs give off the perfect amount of warm ambient light, because they utilize LED technology they draw very little power and will last an incredibly long time.
A few tricks I have learned include:
1. When spanning a distance of 10’ or more it’s really helpful to reinforce the cable with a black rubber coated galvanized wire and anchor both ends with appropriate hanging hardware (these sets are readily available on Amazon). While the light wire will not break the weight of it, over time will pull on your anchor points. Consider this ahead of time. I ended up needing to add L brackets to my outdoor metal pergola on my lower deck as the constant weight caused it to lean.
2. In the locations where two sets join, I tie these connections together as I would extension cords to take the pressure off of the plugs. In addition I wrap the joining plugs with electrical tape.
3. When hanging care should be taken to consider where the bulbs will swing in high winds. Avoid hanging the bulbs against, or close to anything they will bang against such as wooden or metal posts.
As with most lighting in my home, I have all of these lights set up on a SmartHome outlet. This allows me to set them to come on at sunset and remain on for a predetermined amount of time. I utilize the Samsung SmartThings hub but there are many other alternative smart outlet options that will work equally well. I had them set up with a motion detector for a while but our dogs were constantly turning them on so I changed that.
This particular set has 15 lights and stretches 48 feet. It comes with 1 extra bulb, and more are readily available on Amazon. This set is a bit different than many as the bulbs do not hang down from the wire but are snuggly up against the base wire. This makes it perfect for running around the roof edge of pergolas, deck handrails and the like. As long as the base wire is fastened securely the lights will not move so wind breakage will not occur.
This is an excellent product that I definitely recommend. They hold up well in all weather conditions and are made to last. The bulbs give off the perfect amount of warm ambient light and because they are LED use little power and last a long time. This is outdoor lighting that you will absolutely love owning year after year.",2

+1083,Tools_and_Home_Improvement,"Great light, bright, well built, easy to charge, great color
+I have been collecting flashlights for about three years now. I really appreciate small bright lights that are built to last. This one fits that description. I like any color of flashlight except black. Black is so dull and every cheap light in the world comes in black.
I have a number of lights from this company and they never disappoint me. Even my wife likes the color of this model. This model is well built and it feels like it. This model turns on with the low power every time which is just fine with me. The low power allows me to see around the house at night without taking my night vision away. The high mode is bright enough for almost any task you might ask of it. The looks are stunning.
This light is very easy to charge with a USB C plug and even tells you when it is fully charged. See the included pic with the cable plugged in. The LED turns blue to tell you it is done.
This is a very nice light and would make a great gift. I recommend it. I gave one to a nurse friend of mine. She loves it.

+1086,Tools_and_Home_Improvement,"Huge lighting power for such a tiny light, didn't last long though
+Have to update review, unfortunately. This light was on my porch step and while "great when it worked", died completely on Dec 23rd. Bought in mid to late August. This is not a high traffic area after dark.
The first one I purchased is also on my step area and still is working.Same traffic/use.
" Oh boy this is tiny" was my first thought, but it really is a great light.
The solar part lights my narrow, dark 5 steps to my frt porch good enough to use safely, then when it detects any movement from side or front it really seems to go kaboom!!!! with lighting power.
I purchased for safety for myself ,others and my elder dog who is getting a bit of cataracts. You can see the light from the street even in its dim mode.
Cant wait to see if it scares the neighbors cats away from using my steps for naps.
Also cant attest to how long it lasts or water proof ( ability) just yet.My state is very humid so we will see.
If it lasts a year its worth the price. The first one I bought was 13.44 Then I ordered another @ 11.99.
Easy instructions. I put on a nail w no head to test where would be best put which is a very good idea if you have near a road. cars passing can make it go off and on battery power. Will put second one on a stake that can be moved.

+1090,Tools_and_Home_Improvement,"Started great, after 12 hours of easy work it's garbage. Buy a dremel.
+Ok, you get what you pay for so it wasn't totally shocking when this thing only lasted a week. Unfortunately I bought it during a pandemic shopping spree a year ago and only just put it to work on a project I decided to do as a gift (a ring, not exactly a massive undertaking!). At first I was thrilled! Honestly it was everything it was supposed to be - quiet, had a really surprising amount of torque, battery didn't last long but not terrible, considering... I was really happy. I also have a battery powered dremel (ostensibly for cleaning golf balls but honestly good enough to accomplish most tasks.) I'd also bought a set of diamond burrs during the pandemic shopping spree (much better than what it comes with)... was really pleased.
Almost immediately I noticed the burs would come loose while working - at first I thought I had the wrong collet in, but that wasn't the case. I'd lock the chuck and tighten everything as much as possible, then release it and confirm it was tight... but oem or diamond burr they'd end up lose - it's something with the chuck, I suspect there's just a bit of wiggle room for it to loosen. Sometimes it'd stay right and other times it wouldn't. Who knows, maybe it was my error. So anyway it ended up throwing burrs across the room randomly.
Then I noticed how quickly it'd get hot. My battery dremel doesn't have this problem, but the WEN also has a higher speed setting and good torque, so it was annoying to keep taking breaks but not the end of the world, I was still pretty happy for the price. Similarly on a higher RPM setting the battery doesn't last all that long, but that's to be expected it was acceptable for the price.
What did it in for me was after being used for about a week the bearing started to wear out and unbalanced the chuck which would make it vibrate like crazy and make this TERRIBLE noise. So much for quiet. I know to seat the burrs as deep as they'll go and let the tool do the cutting - not to apply a lot of pressure to the burr by pushing on the tool. Oh, and after it'd get unbalanced it'd shut itself off pretty quickly if it touched anything (which is good for safety but not so good if your tool is permanently unbalanced). I got around that for about a day by flipping the tool so the opposite side was facing towards the project, thereby using the un-worn-out side of the bearing (or whatever had gone wiggly). For a bit it'd go back into balance when I did that and I could use it again - being even more careful about pressure. Finally that side gave out as well and it won't go back into balance. It just turns off when asked to put out any torque. Presumably that's the same problem other people are having, with it turning off.
It's useless, I got maybe 12 hours of work out of it and it's absolutely toast. I don't think I got a defective one because at first it was great! I think it just isn't up to working and wearing. My little battery dremel has been put through hell and back for a couple years, doing literally everything I asked of it. And since my Wen crapped out I've been using that little dremel on the project and it's had absolutely zero problems (the only thing with it is constantly buying and changing batteries, and getting caught without new batteries when you're at an important stage of a project).
Save your money, buy a bottom of the line dremel. They're not much more expensive but the quality is light years apart.",2

We have 8 foot ceilings which is the reason we bought the flush. There are 2 directions for the blades to spin. The globes are pretty and hold 4 thin base candelabra bulbs. The part of the fan which goes against the ceiling is a very classy brushed nickel color. We bought Westinghouse because we have had this brand of fan in 2 of our bedrooms in our primary residence for 8 years and have had no problems and they are quiet and put out a nice breeze.

Ordered on September 4, 2020 (2 items) ...and now... Today it is April 20, 2021 (NOT EVEN A YEAR LATER!) Only 7 MONTHS of NORMAL use!
Pros:
It protects the phone from corner drop damage.
Cons:
1. These cases are HEAVY!! I weighed it with my phone inside of it and it weighs 14.7 ounces! ALMOST a pound! Ridiculous!
2. The flat rubber backing puffs out over time and there is nothing you can do to stop or fix that!
3. The glass interferes with touching the screen... the phone screen doesn't respond to your touches and you have to keep touching it many times before you get it to respond and it is caused by the glass that is in the case.
4. The paint wears off over time and will go all over your face in little speckles that people will say... ""Hey, there's something on your face!"" all the time!
5. It is NOT waterproof, the moisture gets in through the speaker port for your ear.
6. The charger door will break/rip off over time.
7. It interferes with your service even if you are close to a tower!
8. The little screws will come out of the back and get lost and it doesn't matter how tightly you screw them into the case. (They do send extra screws with the case.)
9. It collects fingerprints, makeup, facial oil, and smudges on the screen that you will constantly be cleaning off.
10. It interferes with people being able to hear you. We were always being told people couldn't hear us.
11. VERY expensive for the quality and durability!

Otterbox does that for me. I'm not the kind of person who switches cases so once I put on the case it stays there. This case is nice looking and very functional. I'm able to use the mag charger and also the lightening cable. The side functions are easy to use. It is easy to grasp.
I've had other Otterbox cases over the years from different series and this one appears to protect as well as the bulkier cases. I haven't dropped it yet so can't be 💯 sure on that point.
By mistake with my last phone, it was left behind on a table when we went out. I came back to the phone having been mauled by my dog. He chewed the case corners really well, cracked the glass on the front and back. Thankfully he was not able to chew thru the case and actually eat/swallow any glass.

+I tried approximately 50 cases from Samsung, Supcase, iBlason, Latercase, Ghostek, Ringke, Caka, Cresee, Speck, Hummix, Torras, Ruky, Spigen, VRS, Vihibii, Shieldon, Sheid, Fewdew, and others and sent them all back.
I wanted a case that would work with my Whitestone Dome glass screen protector, hopefully hold the S-Pen, and also work with my magnetic car mount and wireless charge. The one that did most of that was the iBlason Amorbox and the Supcase UB Pro, but the left side of the cover screen was partially blocked by the case and it didn't play well with the screen protector.
The Poetic cases are perfect! Time will tell regarding drop protection, but I have both cases and they meet all my needs. My IDEAL case would be a clear back on a case with hinge protection. I keep the Spartan for when we're going outdoors and the Guardian on when I'm doing most anything else. I'd rock a hybrid Guardian/Spartan 100% of the time, so PLEASE make one. I have a Dbrand skin on the phone an really like the clear back of the Guardian, but like the hinge protection of the Spartan. I don't care about the kickstand as I put a Sleekstrip and aftermarket kickstand on the Spartan since my fingers don't like using the kickstand on the Poetic, iBlason, or the Supcase as finger loop.

+This is an update as of 9/13/2021
I thought this screen protector was a winner. However, it ended up cracking all over the place and it’s been a few weeks or so since I have put it on. I ended up buying from another protector from a different company who also has rave reviews. The clarity is on par with this screen protector, but hasn’t cracked yet. Pulling this screen protector off was very tough. I ended up using a kitchen scrapper to get underneath the protector to lift it off. It was so bad that It broke off into pieces. The adhesion is great, but very short life span, and I never handle my iPhone badly. In fact, in all the years I have owned iPhones and purchased screen protectors, never in my life have I ever encounter this. I do NOT recommend this product.
Like many people, I have used different brands of screen protectors and this one is a huge winner!! I decided to replace my InvisiShield that was lifting. I was looking for a protector that has great clarity. The reviews were high on this and I took a chance!!

+I use this with the iPhone 6s Plus, a fairly large phone, and it works perfectly well.

You won't get that level of amazing experiences, but you will get enough to understand what the fuss is about to decide on the cheep if you want to invest seriously and there are a lot of fun VR experiences to have on the Android and iPhone platforms. There are a few on Windows Phone (even if the Cardboard app is not, at the time of this writing, supported) but the number is made up for by the exceptional quality. This particular headset is on the high quality end of the cardboard spectrum, because of the excellent construction, the head strap (it works, even with that heavy of a phone), and the quality of the lenses (I've seen lesser models come with scratches or unclear lenses). If I need another one, I'm going back to this brand.
It would be a good idea to look into safety concerns for VR for users under 12. I know that's the age of concern for more serious VR rigs. It might not be for this, but it's a good idea to be certain.",2

+I was surprised that this was made of fabric, as opposed to some sort of plastic or silicon. I have mixed feelings about this.

+I was very skeptical of these cords because they were so cheap. SO FAR the one I've tried works great and activates "Fast Charging" on my LG V10. The cord is much shorter than I realized which isn't really a huge problem, but a general observation. I like that the micro USB male-end is much longer than the standard OEM cord. This will hopefully ensure that the pesky problem of not fitting in the phone's port many micro USB chargers face over time doesn't happen. The cord seems much more durable than my OEM LG cord, although not a thick. I like that the micro USB male-end is enclosed in plastic versus being snapped together like the original LG cord. I'm really hoping these cords last awhile. You can't beat the price for the quality and you get three so you have backups in case one starts to fail. SO far I'm happy with my purchase and give it 5-stars.
Update: 3/8/2017

+I have three cats and they only pick at this limited ingredient diet after I mixed it with their other dried food. Attached is a picture of the ingredients and guaranteed analysis. The first eight ingredients are salmon, salmon meal, menhaden fish meal, potatoes, peas, canola oil, sweet potatoes, natural flavor, etc. According to the packaging, it's grain free and made with fresh salmon.
This food is manufactured by Canidae Corporation which is the same company that makes the "Under the Sun Brand." It's unclear from the packaging where the ingredients are sourced from.
Based on the label, the ingredients seem wholesome. However, nowhere on the bag does it say that this food is 100% balanced nutrition for the cat. Instead it says it "is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Cat Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages." Perhaps that is almost the same thing.
Also, note that the bag is not "resealable." Once opened, I have to use a clip to seal the bag and keep the ingredients fresh.
This is just one of the foods I will mix with my cats' regular diet as a supplement only since they do not really like it. I also tried their [[ASIN: B01GZTF5IG Under The Sun Grain Free Kitten, Adult, Senior Indoor Cat Food Made With Farm-Raised Chicken]] and their [[ASIN:B01GZ2ILWA Under The Sun Grain Free Cat Food with Turkey]]. Although they are also made of wholesome ingredients, they don’t like that food either. They eat all three of these foods very sparingly.

I would buy it again in a heartbeat. Short shelf life, though. There are a few products I like for this purpose, and this is one that is good. Not a lot of info here, so I looked up what I could find and added it here. Everything from ingredients, benefits of some ingredients, how to use it, how much, etc.

Usually I can't stand the smell of cat food, dry or wet, but this actually doesn't smell bad at all!
And did I mention, my cat that is as picky as Gordon Ramsay loves it!
My other kitten has gastro issues and not sure yet if this alone will help him. I currently have him on FortiFlora. For those who has cats or kittens with loose stool, I highly recommend FortiFlora! Vet gave me TWO meds to help kitty's digestive tract (NO parasites, they checked, just like inflammation, irritable bowel) and they helped a bit, for about the week til they were gone and then back to loose stool.

Unfortunately I can't give it a perfect score. We had to struggle a little bit because it is confusing to figure out strap goes where. But now that we have, I think it'll be easier in the future.
He also didn't like it when we first put it on. He's always tried to yank off anything someone puts on him, like a sweater or hat. He seemed like he wasn't sure if it was a good thing or not, so I'm hoping with time it will go better. We are following the treat suggestion and that went well so we'll keep doing it.
At one point we worried it may have worked a little TOO well! When Sammy needs to go out, he is like a bullet. He will bark and run around until someone takes him out. He is really well trained.
But he pooped i the house while wearing it. We were surprised because he always demands to be let out when he needs to go. Then we realized the timing was when he actually does go out normally.
It's almost like he was thinking ""Well, it's time for me to go out and I really need to. Aww the heck with it. I just don't have the energy, so I'llgo here."" And he did!
We didn't scold him though. We took the advice to make the experience of wearing the shirt as positive as possible. But we're definitely going to make sure he goes out BEFORE we put it on him next time!",2

+It doesn't do well on the carpet, but that was expected. It really moves on bare floors..... But, cats do love the little tease moves it does on the carpet.

Really liked the 3 sets of batteries that came with it. Also, I appreciated that I didn't have to use a screwdriver to open it.
*********Update...... I thought the 3 sets of batteries was a brilliant selling and purchase point.... But I found that the reason for this is that they DO NOT last long at all.... I tried my batteries, which turned out to do no better.

+1234,Pet_Supplies,"Just okay
+I got this to create a bolster for the end of one of the beds my dog likes to nap on since there are bars that I worry he may get his legs stuck in.
This helps with that, he doesn’t go to edge anymore, and stays closer to the middle of the bed.
The bolsters help with keeping him away from the edge, but they don’t have a good cushion. He immediately tried lying down and putting his bed on the ‘bolster’, but the weight of his head caused it to go completely flat so he doesn’t even use it. So, I may add my own memory foam bits to the cushion in there to make it a little more stable. Maybe its substantial enough for smaller dogs, but I expected it to work for him since it came in different sizes.
But, it still created a barrier and keeps him from getting too close to the bars of the bed, which is the main reason I wanted this.
Pros: So soft. My dog went to lie on it as soon as he saw me putting it on the bed.
Cons:
1. The bolster doesn’t hold up well for dogs over 35 lbs. the cushioning is weak
2. After receiving this, I think the price is a little steep since the bolster cushioning is so weak. If it were more full and stable I would buy more.
3. Label is right on top at the corner where my curious dog already has become interested in wanting to rip it off. I’m going to take a seam ripper to it to take it off. I wish it were placed somewhere else, like the center back of the bolster. That way, they could still be representing their brand. But, if your dog isn’t curious like mine, you’ll be fine.",2

It's a great idea for dogs that will enjoy the bone. The filling inside is made poorly. The peanut treat inside the bone is loosely placed, it is made of something similar to cookie crumbs. It break apart very easily, makes a huge mess, easy to eat withing seconds.
I understand it takes the dog longer to eat because they have to chew through the bone. However like many other buyers. My dog has no interest in the bone. There is no smell or taste to the bone. My dog finds it boring.

To say my dogs LOVE them, would be an understatement, that can't WAIT to get their paws and mouth on them when they see I have them in my hands. I have a 10 month old Boxer and 8month old Jackihuahua. My Jackihuahua is easy and everything lasts with her, but if my boxer isnt running & playing, then he is always wanting to chew something and will usually chews through the thickest braided bully stick within 15min, yet these ears keep him busy for at least an hour. He never finishes one in a day, because after an hour he will get bored, but always returns to the ear later. These ears are MASSIVELY huge, (twice has big as other ears I've purchased) & as advertised they are HEALTHY alternative to a rawhide. I have purchased these several times now, and will continue to purchase, as I have feel like I've tried every chew treat out there & my boxer just goes through everything in minutes, except these. A 12pack for the 18bucks lasts my dogs 2weeks, so it is well worth it to me, considering I was buying 180bucks a week worth of different chews/treats thru different other website, and my dogs never seemed as satisfied as they are with these, the other chews always dissapeared within days. If your dog likes cow ears, you at least HAVE to give these a try.",2
+1270,Pet_Supplies,"Great daily multi-vitamin for your dog, and they like them, too!
+I have nothing but great things to say about this Pro-Sense multi-vitamin. My 40 lb. 3 year old Aussie Shepherd mix is an extremely picky eater. There are days when she seems to only want to eat treats and cheese, lol. I , at first, was hesistant ordering these as I thought for sure she wouldn't eat them. I was surprised to see that she ate it like it was a treat and has been taking them daily now for 3 weeks. I feel confident knowing that her terrible eating habits and diet is being supplemented with the vitamins and nutrients that she needs to stay young and healthy. Kudos Pro-sense for not only giving us a product that is good for our dogs but also that even the pickiest pets will eat!",2

+I was recommended by my family to buy a Best Friends by Sheri Luxury Shag Dog for my dog Caleb. He is an Australian Shepherd who just loves grabbing my blanket all the time.

+1274,Pet_Supplies,"This version isn't a hit with the puddy tats.
+We have had this item before with different cats, and it was one of the most used cat items in the house!
Both cats were endlessly rubbing up against it and going under it, dragging their backs.
Even the dog would stick his face under the arch to see what the fuss was about.
Ten yrs later and two totally different cats, we decided to try it again.
The first difference is the base - noticeably cheaper and lighter. Okay, we can deal with that.
The arch seems about the same. (The bristles are a little like a toilet brush's bristles,)
Even with the catnip, neither of our cats will use the new arch! We've tried shoving them under it,
bribing with treats and catnip, even making it the "gateway" to one of their beds. Our little one literally
jumped OVER the arch to get into the bed!
We've had it for almost five months now, with neither cat using it.
Very disappointing for us humans - who are, after all, just in the cat pleasing business.
We'll be leaving it up. Maybe some day, they'll forget they don't like it and accidentally walk under it.
Until then, the cats say "meh".",2

He loves the poultry flavored toothpaste I use but this time he didn't try to resist the toothbrush and try to get the toothpaste from it. In fact, he didn't resist at all and he does not like toothbrushing! He's a 25 pound Lhasa apso mix.

+This one is incredibly easy to clean and doesn't get build up from my hard water. The mat that comes with it is useless, so I threw it out. My cats make a mess, so I have it set inside a lid. Refilling is a lot harder than other ones. I had to learn how to open it slowly while pulling it back, otherwise MESS. Never had this issue with the clear, plastic ones that you can see when they need a refill and can just pour the water on top. This one overflows if I try that. I still prefer this one for ease of cleaning.",2
+1281,Pet_Supplies,"So Far So Good!
+Recently I was reading an article about health for senior dogs & it mentioned the use of probiotics for dogs. I personally am a fan of probiotics and have been taking them for the last couple of years, so I decided to look into it for my 12 year old Keeshond Sheltie. My dog can be quite gassy and frequently her stomach/insides make loud gurgling noises that are a bit disruptive. This supplement is very easy to use. I just give her morning food three sprays. There's no odor and she eats her food without any problems. The H20 PRO contains 70 million CFUs which is well over the minimum of 20 million that the article suggested. So far, it seems to be working well. I haven't noticed any gurgling stomach noises or gassiness since she's been taking this. I really liked that this products says it helps with the dog's oral health, too! I will update my review later if necessary since we've only been using it for a short while.",2

+1285,Pet_Supplies,"Decent quality but neither cat will touch them.
+We recently found that one of our cats is obsessed with pole-style toys, and especially with feather attachments. We thought this would be a cost-effective way to keep him entertained (he had already "killed" one of the feather attachments that came with the toy).
Well, not so much.
I don't know if these toys have a weird (to cats) smell, or there's some other problem
However, our cat just doesn't like these feathers.
They seem to be a decent quality toy, but for whatever reason, neither of our two cats, including the one obsessed with feathers, will play with these attachments.",2
+1286,Pet_Supplies,"great for big kitties
+My tiny little kitten grew into a 14 lb ball of fluff seemingly overnight, and that meant he outgrew his lovely carrier. I needed a travel carrier for vet visits that didn't take up half the closet but that was roomy enough for my house panther. This one has much more room, my boy can stand up in it and has enough room to turn. He isn't freaked out by it, which is a plus. Due to how well it collapses, it is a bit unsturdy, and you'll want to make sure it's securly zipped before you take kitty anywhere, but on the whole, it's a great carrier for your bigger cats and small dogs.",2
+1287,Pet_Supplies,"Waterproof and non-slip; catches some my cats dropped food but too tiny & shows all marks
+I have three cats and they are always dropping their food on the floor. This enables me to pick up the mat and shake it out as it catches some of the debris. What I do not like is that the mat is too small for my pet dishes as it is more for small dishes. Also, the rubber shows all stains easily and I am forever cleaning it.
One good thing about this is that there is a hairline lip on the mat so that liquids will be contained as long as the spill is minimal.
Overall, this mat can be very useful. It can even be used outside the litter pan if the cat does not mind stepping on it. The current price of $7.99 is competitively priced for this.",2
+1288,Pet_Supplies,"Good toy. Hard to clean
+I really like these so why only 3 stars? First I don’t use that fake stuff so I fill it with natural peanut butter and that’s a bit of a challenge. But that’s a personal preference. I also use kibble. The 3 is really because I have this in large and small and the pups can’t get the treat out of the bottom part.

+Had been using Merricks for years without any issues. My one cavalier recently began rejecting her food so I switched her to a different flavor.

+This would get 5 stars, but the price keeps creeping up. I suppose it's still comparable to what I get in the store, but trying to spend $30+ every month to get a box of 24 (48 servings) is hard. So while I'll likely buy a smaller box from time to time, I'm having to switch to something I can get locally that has more servings (the 5.5 oz cans--I can get 4 servings out of those, and I found grain-free, good quality cans for 80 cents...much better price!).

I was excited to give her a unique treats and ""exotic"" sounded fun. But gosh, at $35 ouch! That's steep I my opinion, for only four bones. Plus she didn't seem to love these any more than regular cow bones (which are much more affordable). I wouldn't rebuy this box.",2

+I have these and the Maria cookies. I didnt know what the difference was, so I figured I would try them both. These are just a little more sweet and have that short bread texture. The other reminds me of a non cream filled cookie-- like the backing of a cream filled cookie minus the cream. If that makes sense.
I really like both. I have been using them as my sweet nibble after dinner, or any time I would normally want a sweet treat. I had been devouring boxes of donuts on a near daily basis, so while these arent exactly that, they fit the need for my sweet tooth. The amount of calories I am not consuming by swapping in these is amazing.
Since i haven't been consuming too much excess sugar, I know my ability to taste sweet has increased. I know these are lightly sweet, but some may think they are bland. I really like the taste of these and will be ordering more.

The package I opened up tasted stale with no flavor at all. Lesson learned once again from buying a product that was marked lower than the regular price. I guess if you see anything marked lower that must mean it’s either expired or very close to expiring.

This was like extra spicy cat food. It managed to be wet and dry at the same time. The crackers were good, only one was broken. They were something like a water biscuit. The problem with the crackers is even if you filled them to beyond overflowing (and you really wouldn't want to!) there were only enough crackers for a third, perhaps half, of the can.
I have eaten several cookies, a handful of Tic-Tacs (cherry if you were interested) and four Butter Rum Life-Savers and I can still taste the Bumble Bee Sensation Chipotle Seasoned Tuna.

+In my opinion, these are the best canned sardines available and since sardines are very healthy, they are always available in my pantry.

I do recommend, however, being thoughtful of others if you take these to work because the smell isn't always well received. Be sure to rinse the can and put it in something like a plastic bag or newspaper if using a community trash can.
After my first taste of King Oscar Sardines in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, I stopped even considering others. The tiny size makes them perfect to pop in the mouth and I have a little snap seal plastic container that fits the can perfectly if I eat only the top layer of the two. I'm particular about my sardines after craving them while in Spain prior to knowing I was pregnant years ago. I like these much better than the larger sardines of that time.

The BIG PROBLEM(S) come when you try to put water in and take water out. NEITHER OF THE HOSES is compatible with my bathroom, bath tub or kitchen sink hose. The both the water in hose and the water out hose are TOO SHORT and one is forced to find/make/contrive a MAKE_SHIFT hose each time - to get water in and get the water out. So I resorted to filling 5 (1 gallon) buckets of water to wash clothes (WHICH ALWAYS CAME OUT SUDSY AND funky...I never felt like my clothes were truly washed). Then I had STAND AND HOLD the hose to let water once the 15 minute cycles finished - then repeat the water in process AGAIN to try to "rinse" the suds off before putting the SPIN wring dry - BEFORE HANGING to completely dry in my home. So perhaps some college kid would find this fun...but most would not. I'm an adult in a studio and this just did NOT WORK FOR ME.

I also noticed more sediment in the bottom of my cup using these filters. They’re fine in a pinch, but I’ve gone back to unbleached number two filters, which I can just use and toss.

Initially, I thought the replacement knob stuck out way too far. I eventually discovered the knobs have a little metal sleeve inside.

The knob shipped quickly, and was in perfect condition when we received it. We got it out of the box, and popped it on, and that was that. It looks no different than any other knob on the stove, and since putting it on, we’ve had absolutely zero issues with it. I will probably order 1-2 extra just to have on hand, in the event that we may need it in the future.

+The hood did not work when it was installed. I called customer service to solve the problem and was even less impressed with their customer nonservice. I was basically accused of not telling the truth as if I had done something to the hood as why it would not work. I did not install the hood immediately as I am a 64 year old female and could not remove the hood from the box by myself so waited for installation by my HVAC man. When my HVAC man came out to install the hood it, approximately 30 days after it was delivered, the hood would not turn on. Therefore, the call to customer nonservice. After begging and pleading with the nonservice rep, she agreed to send a new circuit board (which solved the problem.)
There are four levels for the fan. Any level beyond 2 becomes noisy and 3 and 4 is extremely noisy - noisy so you can't speak without raising your voice.

I bought this product January 2017, and just got an email from Acurite (see text below) telling this product is going to be shutdown in 2 weeks from now (Feb 28. 2019). I paid over $200 for the hub and they are now making the product useless, and forcing users to update to a newer product really?
BTW they said in the email they informed customers for the past year, but this is the first email I got from them (just 2 weeks before they say they will render my device useless)
I haven't done much reading yet, but seems you can use an arduino/raspberry pi to read the data from the sensors, and in that way at least have some data once the smartHub stops working
---------------------------
Dear Valued Customer,
For the past year, we’ve informed customers that we would no longer provide support or service for the AcuRite smartHUB and urged users to upgrade to our next generation product, the AcuRite Access.
As a company on the forefront of environmental monitoring technology, our goal is simple: create products that our customers love and make new technology and innovations available that improve the user experience. As that new technology becomes available, older products eventually reach the end of their useful life and are phased out.
We understand that this change will require you to upgrade to the AcuRite Access, and we encourage you to learn more about the product’s functionality, including compatibility with Amazon Alexa and new My AcuRite compatible sensors, as well as enhanced power and storage capabilities.
We also hope to make your upgrade as seamless and cost-effective as possible. As a loyal AcuRite customer and smartHUB user we are offering you a 20% discount. You can take advantage of this special pricing by going to acurite.com/access-my-acurite-remote-monitoring.html and using promo code 211SH19. If you choose not to upgrade, please note that your smartHUB will stop working February 28, 2019.",2

+We love this great looking oven. It has easy to use functions. The convection oven works well, and we love the rapid boil and digital display numbers from 1 to 10 for low to high on the cooktop. This unit is well made and has one touch buttons for things like pizza, chicken nuggets, preheat, keep warm, etc... The convenience and money savings of just being to use the top oven without having to heat up the entire unit is a wonderful design feature. When we cook foods that need completely different temperatures we simply put one in the top oven and one in the bottom. The number key pad makes it easy to set all functions without having to push an arrow up or down over and over again. The only minor quirk we have found is the heating elements are on the top of the ovens (traditional ovens have them on the bottom), so you need to keep the food near the bottom or it may burn the top. The Frigidaire Gallery stainless steel does not smug like many other stainless products. This is our first Frigidiare product and so far we are very satisfied.

In the end I removed the plastic clip from the spring and simply threaded the new cord through the coils of the spring and used the plastic tab on the end of the cord to act as a stop from pulling through the coil. The tension of the spring coils keeps the tab locked inside the barrel of the spring.
